Can anybody help me with this (plz see description below)?

Description:
When I use ‘Preferences/Set External Editor’ to point to a editor like notepad++ or sublime, I get the message that the editor is successfully set.
1. But, when I hit the ‘External Editor’-button in a opened expression window, Houdini will still open notepad.exe.
2. And when I want to open the external editor directly from the parameter field via right-click -> ‘Expression/Edit in External Editor’, the following message appears:
'float' object has no attribute ‘encode’
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 5, in <module>
File “C:/Users/defsh/AppData/Roaming/SideFX/GameDevToolset/17.5/1.196/scripts/python\houdini_external_editor.py”, line 253, in add_watcher
data = str(parm.eval().encode(“utf-8”))
AttributeError: ‘float’ object has no attribute ‘encode’
