1) No, previous versions were fine. 2) My issue got solved through an August update (comment #4 above) so I have not seen any reason to test other versions since. All I can say is that I did try launchpad at the time I was experiencing the bug - no 5.2.x was available yet - and that did not help at all. I will try a later version as soon as I find the time.

During this, the interface has various presentation issues: - Two overlapping status bars - Duplicated vertical scrollbars at the right side - The title bar covering up the menu bar as well as part of the upper toolbar - The horizontal ruler shifted to the right, causing the "comments" column to appear on the left rather than the right When the file eventually gets loaded and the interface is restored, the menus turns out to be unusable: the drop-downs are narrow blacks slabs without any entries and without any responsiveness. Newly created files or existing smaller files are fine.
