Title: Electrum 2.2 error: {u'message':u'18: bad-txns-inputs-spent', u'code': -26}

Yea, what the title says. This happens whenever I try to send bitcoin.

I never had this problem when I was running 1.9. For the time being, this means I can't spend my coins. Any suggestions?

Were coins you tried to send used in previous transaction? Can you post your address and the amount you are trying to send here?

Eh, I have about 10 addresses and am not sure which address Electrum is taking from in order to spend as I let it do it automatically and no, I haven't spent those coins before. I first got the problem trying to move some of my coins to another address in Electrum (since the coins come from addresses I imported from Bitcoin-Core and I wanted to move them to an address created from an Electrum seed).

Anyway, I loaded up Bitcoin-core again and I was able to use the coins but that was after loading up 32 weeks worth of transactions within Core. That's precisely why I had switched to Electrum; I didn't want a copy of the entire blockchain on my PC. I will probably switch to Multibit if I can't find a solution...

And yes, those imported addresses worked fine in Electrum 1.8x.
