There were some Beta releases that did not have those fixes but the final released Sigil-2.3.0 certainly had them.

Here is the snippet of code from ImportEPUB.cpp that is in Sigil 2.3.0
I don't find that snippet in ImportEPUB.cpp on the linux build which I made on 21 July. The W10 download seems to be a bit earlier so it looks likely that I didn't have the definitive releases in either case.

What does the About Sigil dialog say on both (exactly). A screen shot of each About box would help.

Typically to build from source you download the source code directly from the Releases page and unpack it and build from there. If you did a git clone earlier to get the source you need to use git to pull in all changes since your prior pull or clone before doing your build.
I haven't used a distro version in linux for a few years now. To have a more up-to-date- version, I used Flatpack per advice on the Sigil website and got good support for a while. Then one day when I didn't get any response to a query on a problem, I begged assistance from this forum, November 2023, and was kindly 'coached' through the build-from-source process by DiapDealer, especially with help identifying the QT elements needed.

That thread documents the whole struggle. Ever grateful thanks to DiapDealer.

Since then I've rebuilt to update a few times always following the process defined here:

https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil...ng_on_Linux.md

The 2.3.0 source was downloaded as Sigil-master.zip from https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil
after I queried the name on the first download from your site which was named BuildSigilOnMac-for_sigil_1.0.0.zip which didn't seem appropriate.
