I have a new computer running Linux Pop!_OS Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS. After a fresh installation of Moneydance 2024.4 (5253), when I attempt to add a category to a transaction the category list pop-up flashes very rapidly, preventing the ability to use or select any Categories. This was not happening on my previous Linux Mint OS. This looks like a potential bug. I am licensed.

   This appears to be a problem tied to the Cosmic desktop see:

   dwg,

   Thanks for sending that thread. Looks like there is no fix unfortunately. I'm not changing to a different OS so I'll be looking for some other solution.

   You could stay with the same O/S but use a different Desktop Environment. Otherwise yes it looks like you would need a different financial management program at this time.

   I'm going to try a distrobox container for the application in ubuntu so I don't have to change anything with the os.
