Working in Sigil 2.6.2 Qt 6.8.2 in Linux using the AppImage

I've just converted a LibreOffice Writer .odt file to epub3 using the ODTImportQt plugin v0.5.0. All seemed to go pretty well but subsequent editing produced two (so far) unexpected problems.

1. When editing an xhtml file in the Code View, clicking in the Preview places the focus in CV in the paragraph below the one clicked in. If I want to edit an H2 or H3 heading between two paragraphs, I have to click in Preview in the paragraph above the heading. This is systematic in all paragraphs, headings etc.

2. a Ctrl click on the HTML tag while editing does not open the styles sheet at the appropriate entry. Even if the style sheet is already open, the Ctrl click in CV does nothing.

These two unexpected behaviours are strictly limited to the newly produced epub3 file using ODTImportQt so I suspect the plugin. Does it sound like a Qt issue?

Any ideas?
