TexStudio error: The command has been expanded to 11 levels [closed]

Question

Whenever I try to compile any TeX document with TexStudio I get this error:

The command has been expanded to 11 levels. Do you want to continue expanding "txs:///pre-compile | txs:///conditionally-recompile-bibliography"?

If I press OK I get the same error again and again with a different number and so on. If I press Cancel I can exit this message.

How can I solve this annoying problem?
I would like to solve it without removing all my configuration (because I have some options for knitr and for two-way navigation).
I guess it has something to do with my configuration.
Reinstalling the program doesn't solve the problem.

Here is the content of texstudio.ini, with some non-important lines removed.

PD: Finally I've decided to delete the configuration file. It seems to work. Now the precompile field is empty.

Answer 1

As @Ulrike Fischer stated in the comments, Tools\Commands\pre-compile calls itself. This causes an infinite loop. Deleting or modifying the entry for precompile will solve the issue.
