When I compared the protocols of the AppImage generation in the IDE and 
the "manual classical way" I possibly found the reason, why the 
generated AppImages didn't start any longer after I upgraded the Master 
to the cutting edge version. When I started them in the console I got 
the error message "Bytecode too recent. Please upgrade Gambas.".

While the manual AppImage generation protocol correctly refers to

     - sourceline: deb 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/gambas-team/gambas-daily/ubuntu focal

the AppImage generation protocol in the IDE refers to

     http://ppa.launchpad.net/gambas-team/gambas3/ubuntu jammy InRelease

Is this possibly a bug?

The comparison further helped me to determine the package 
qt5-gtk-platformtheme as the one which can fix my problem with the 
different font. I simply added it in the IDE on the basis of trial and 
error. Sadly, I didn't find any package which fixed the different theme.

Best regards

Claus
