Instruments cannot be initialized!

When ever I try to create any new Instrument bornagain crashes with the following message inside DistributionPlot::plot_distributions:

Assertion !m_distItem->is() failed in .../bornagain/GUI/View/Instrument/DistributionPlot.cpp, line 139

this issue seems to only appear when building locally, the CI build version of main does work fine. I removed and cloned all dependencies (including bornagain itself) but it did not change anything.

This also happens when opening a project that uses instruments.
