Tracked it down to "Book List Plus" plugin which was last updated Sep 2026, was not getting the error until I installed "View Manager" 1.11.1

This will ensure that other plugins inserting themselves into the layout area of calibre that are not normal tool buttons (aka Book List Plus) don't get considered for inclusion in customised views.

Works fine with "Book List Plus" enabled.

That seems to have done the trick
