Beginners' Questions Is this "normal"? (zoom problems, crashes, moving selections, etc)

    Does anyone else run Inkscape 1.0.2 (e86c8708, 2021-01-15) on a 2020 3-port MBP (Catalina 10.15.7) and run into any of the following issues??

    - right click pop-up menu turns gray and you can't close it or get rid of it. Eventually, it may turn black again and I can sometimes click on something and it'll go away

    - OR, I choose something once it turns back to black and Inkscape just crashes.

    - maybe there's a trick to making selections and having the selection move as it should? But I can select a square, go to move it, and an object next to the square will move.

    - if you zoom in too far, things look awful or they appear to have been duplicated?

    If others are having these issues, then at least I know it's not me. If I'm the only one with the issue, then I need to figure out why it's happening. I'm actually quite fond of using Inkscape, but I may be forced to go back to other software if my experience is considered "normal".

    Thanks for any feedback,

    Awesome! Well, not awesome that problems exist, but awesome that you found these for me. I'll bookmark gitlab.com and keep an eye on it.

    One person did offer a workaround, which was to create a layer. When you do, the gray contextual menu goes away so I'll take my wins where I can get them.

    Thanks!
