Linux : Gnome MATE vs. KDE Plasma
Ubuntu 20.04, tested with MS3.6.2 & MS3.7.x (care of Jojo-Schmidt). I have logins for a Gnome MATE environment, and KDE Plasma environment. Over the last month or two, the GUI behavior of both mentioned MS3 releases has deteriorated in the KDE/P environment to the point where selecting Format -> Page settings pops-up that window, and it takes typically 1 minute 45 seconds for the window to fill. Any change of setting in that window manifest about the same 1:45 time to respond.
I have avoided testing MS4 due to its newness.
In the Gnome/M environment, both MS3 releases respond OK. Who should I reach out to with this issue? Thx.

Interesting, though that Wikipedia is all in German. Around 1995 I was a tourist in the Thuringen region; Leipzig, Eisenach, Halle - for historical music places. My first public school was named 'Schmid Elementary'. Have you ever visited the USA?

Mostly Silicon Valley, but also "Silicon Hills" (Austin, TX), and once Washington, DC
Favourite place is Lick Observatory, or rather the wunderful curvy road up there

Why don't you give Mu4 a test?

I now tested 3 scores. The "Format -> " menu items paint in a few seconds, which is OK and much better than MS3.x I will say that with MS4, sometimes on opening a score, playback either does not start, or starts rolling with no audio. With retrying, audio comes back.
Having mostly migrated my MS 'Documents' content over to a different Linux user & desktop, I am VERY FRUSTRATED that the SAME problem manifests with opening "Format -> Page settings" pop-up window.
The different user's desktop is XFCE4. MS3.6.2 used. 4-core CPU. MS freezes for 1min 40sec or so.
Who should I forward this issue to??
