I don't run virtual desktops, but I've not noticed menubars disappearing on Linux or Windows. But I'll be honest... I'm not really one to leave programs running when I'm away from a machine.

The difference between Sigil 2.3.0 and previous versions is that 2.3.0 uses a newer version of Qt. The very latest version of Qt at this point (6.7.2). So visual artifacts and rendering issues are more than likely a sign that video hardware and/or drivers are being left behind. Make sure your Windows graphics card is using the latest manufacturer's version (not the Windows update version).

Another thing you can try is turning off qtwebengine's hardware acceleration in Sigil's advanced preferences.
