eTemplate: error when selecting different type than Label in widget editor

[dawuid]

hello,
I’m using EGroupware 17.1.003 on ubuntu 18.04.
ETemplate has Version 14.1…
I creates a new template and added the first label.
But I’m not able to add different types than label.
If I select text, the widget editor is closing.
This I can find in apache2/error.log

Maybe the mistake is mine?
Thanks for help! Axel

Old eTemplate is not what EGroupware currently uses, which is eTemplate2!

Editor from old eTemplate does not work with PHP 7.2, as it is provided by Ubuntu 18.04.
Thought the applications created with it still work.

If you write new code, you should not use old eTemplate.

Exists a manual how to start with et2?
I found "ETemplate2 JavaScript Documentation"
and outdated descritpions for etemplate.
