I've tried 2.7.5 RC2 AppImage on my Linux UbuntuStudio 24.04 LTS. Tests were not exhaustive but I didn't see any problems in regular use nor with some plugins: testplugin, Tagmechanic, EpubCheck.

All 3 windows (About, Reports, Spellcheck) show the minimise, maximise, and quit buttons and they can all be resized by dragging. I checked on 2.6.2 and 2.7.0 and these versions too have all the buttons and can be resized. Frankly, I never noticed before and they don't affect my use much.

There was one weird detail, but that is not unique to 2.7.5 AppImage, it happens in 2.6.2 and 2.7.0 . When running tagmechanic, a small 'plugin runner' window opens up right in the middle of Code View with the main tagmechanic window over to the right (in the preview pane position). The plugin runner is in the way and obstructive. It can be resized and moved but doing so causes the Tagmechanic window to minimise. It can be resurrected from the task bar but I don't recall having this problem with other plugins.
