Yes, I've noticed some occasional issues with LC on Windows 11 too, mainly stability problems during longer sessions. Curious if others are seeing the same or if it’s something specific to my setup.

The only thing beyond any usual historic issues I've encountered in the IDE on Windows 11 is that in the last version or two, the backdrop has created some window focusing problems. Elements don't drop in the right place or can't be selected. It's (very unfortunately) been necessary to turn off the backdrop. Then everything behaves normally - except that it's totally abnormal to me to try and use that environment.

Yeah same problem on MacOS, so probably LC's, rather than the OS's, fault.

Weirdly and possibly related: Having recently toyed with Linux Mint XFCE running KDE Plasma 5.x desktop (using Community 9.6.3, since LC Create is not available for Linux and my old LC licence has expired), I seem to have a similar issue there, namely that the tools palette keeps hiding behind the backdrop.

On that note, it would be *very* nice if LC would release a FOSS version of LC for Linux without the ability to develop cross-platform (which could be a selling point for the commercial versions). There can be no question of this cannibalising their commercial market since LCC does not offer a Linux version and this could be a great way for people to learn even if it means running linux on a VM).
