MuseScore 4.5 and 4.5.1 on RaspberryOS (latest) on Pi5 unable to select menu items, jumping back to previous menu

Dear MuseScore,
I've run MuseScore 4.4 without any problems. Installation of 4.5 with aarch64 Appimage is possible btr full of errors. Please find the the file with the installation errors attached.
I know there are multiple varieties of Desktops, like X, Wayfire and labwc. Iḿ not sure wether this has to do with it or is there a type on the installation script?
I start testing with different Desktops in the meantime and report back my experiences.

Workaround:
It is a minor bug which can be circumvented.
I've tested with the different Desktops X11, Wayfire and Labwc. MuseScore runs without problems under the X11 desktop on my Pi5 (8GB/SSD, bookworm). I had no desktop under Wayfire and the problem returned after switching from X11 tot Labwc. On Wayfire with the failing desktop I could reselect the X11 desktop by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 , login with my credentials and then run sudo raspi-config. There I selected 6 Advanced options, A6 Wayland, W1 X11, exited the program and restarted. Then my desktop returned. I run with Labwc because I approach (mostly) with Remote Desktop (RDP).
