I have seen quite a lot of complaints elsewhere (outside Gambas) about
that Debian release, especially for both gtk and qt5.
Why it should affect what you are seeing is beyond me, but ...?
I'd tend to wait a bit before changing code and see if they get their
testic.. oops, I mean ducks sorted out.

Oh and p.s. I tried the new version, broke it in approx 2 minutes with
a python app, 2.1 minutes with a couple of MXLinux utilities and
severed its pretty little head from a system backup. No problems since.
