Thanks for testing it and reporting back!

A few things:

- pop up dialog borders are set and controlled by your OS/Window Manager.

- search will try its best to centre the the highlighted found target in the centre of the screen. In your case the image pushed things right and forced the horizontal scroll bar into action. You can grow the Preview or detach it if needed, or Zoom it out so no scrolling is required. There has been no change to code in this area since 2.2 at all. Hopefully this is a one-off due to the lack of image formatting. If you can recreate a sample epub (single page) that shows the issue that would help.

- flashing should really be minimized in dark modes as Qt 6.7.2 includes a Qt official fix for the flashes during Preview update and load. Vertical bars on the right edge of the screen sounds like vertical scrollbar flckering in and out. I do not see this on macOS as the vertical scollbar is always there. This could be a Window Manager interaction. Maybe DiapDealer will be able to recreate it.

- Your previously compiled PageEdit with system Qt should continue to work, but recompiling PageEdit with the newer Qt to match Sigil is probably a good idea. My PageEdit is compiled with Qt 6.6.2 but my current Sigil is built with Qt 6.7.2 andit all works. But again that is macOS where each app embeds itsownQt version. All of my Linux boxes (1 real and 1 VM) only use the system Qt so I will give aqtinstall a shot to see what gives ...

- Not sure about the first start-up maximized issue. I do not see it on macOS but will try with my VM running Manjaro to see if I can recreate it.

Thanks!
