Description
I'm new to GIS. I'm trying to create a new vector layer in QGIS. I keep getting an error that the layer is not created. Yet it doesn't tell me what the error is.
Steps taken
File -> New
Layer -> create layer -> new shape file layer
filename -> local filename
click okAt the end of the process, i get an error directing me to message log. But the log doesn't have anything. The shape file is actually created. But it doesn't show up in the layers. I have to open the shape file again from browser.

Hey - that just began happening to me today! Except I'm on Windows 10 64-bit:

For several days I could create shapefiles with no problem. Today I changed the rubberband settings available in Settings menu --> Options --> Digitizing. When I went to create a layer to test the new value, I got that yellow top message and the same un-helpful Messages log. I tried a new project, and restarting QGIS, and it always fails now. Setting the line width back to default doesn't help. Fails in a PostGIS project or a file based project.
I notice I get over 6000 lines of Python errors in the log on every startup. That can't be normal??? And I get the following 17 lines of "Processing" warnings, and they repeat occasionally at times I haven't linked to any actions yet. Trying to create a shapefile layer does not directly trigger them:

I've also seen several sudden crashes, where QGIS just instantly disappears for no apparent reason, with no crash dialog or stack trace, and no logging I can find.
Any clues how to explore this further?

Please try again on 3.2, possibly using a clean profile.

I did see a somewhat similar issue with 3.2, as reported in #19298:
---
Algorithm 'Order by expression' starting…
Input parameters: { 'ASCENDING' : True, 'EXPRESSION' : '\"ID\"', 'INPUT' : 'C:/Users/loren/Giant Files/HEC-RAS Dam Break/QGIS Projects/TestProject/Profiles100-50-25LinesOnly/Profiles100-50-25.shp', 'NULLS_FIRST' : False, 'OUTPUT' : 'C:/Users/loren/Giant Files/HEC-RAS Dam Break/QGIS Projects/TestProject/Profiles100-50-25Sorted/Profiles100-50-25Sorted.shp' }
Could not create layer C:/Users/loren/Giant Files/HEC-RAS Dam Break/QGIS Projects/TestProject/Profiles100-50-25Sorted/Profiles100-50-25Sorted.shp: Creation of data source failed (OGR error: C:/Users/loren/Giant Files/HEC-RAS Dam Break/QGIS Projects/TestProject/Profiles100-50-25Sorted/Profiles100-50-25Sorted.shp is not a directory.)
Execution failed after 0.05 seconds
--> It will not let me select a directory for output, it insists I select a .shp file...
---
But that's a bit more complex scenario, at least in terms of my menu choices. Not sure what happens underneath... And it only happened for a few hours, not for days. Other than that one, I've seen no shapefile creation issues in 3.2 or 3.2.1.

seems completely unrelated to the description of this ticket.
