New error calling edit-book from reader

[Snowman]

O/S: Windows 10 64 bit
Calibre version 6.26

I often call edit-book from the calibre reader after highlighting a portion of text. Normally, this will open the book in sigil, and jump to the specified text.

Now at version 6.26, the editor opens to the current chapter, but gives an error pop-up "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'raw' referenced before assignment", and does not position to the requested text string.

I tested this on several different books with the same result.

I regressed to the previous version, and confirmed that the issue is not present at v6.25 version.

The full error traceback is:

I've had that same error a couple of times yesterday, when opening the Editor from the Viewer toolbar button.

Now I tried to reproduce, and it wasn't easy, but eventually I remembered what I was trying to do: I wanted to see in the Editor the formatting for the text containing the name of the translator, in order to write an extracting rule for the EPOM plugin.

So I selected this text, and after clicking the "Edit this book" Viewer toolbar button, got the same message again. It's awesome that the Editor opens to the current chapter!

yes this is fixed in the next release.

In Sigil - how so, does the viewer have an override setting?
