It's probably Qt. But it sounds like it may be a case of the newer version of Qt testing the limits of your video hardware/driver (especially since it worked ok previously) on Windows. As mentioned earlier in this thread, try disabling webengine's hardware acceleration in Sigil's preferences (on Windows).

And I had often noticed that I could not select multiple files in the Book Browser for renaming but I just ignored that inconvenience and never thought more about it. |

Looks like the driver update fixed it. |

Good deal. Happy to hear it!
When dealing with visual issues/artifacts in Qt programs, I've found that updating video drivers (where possible) is always a good first step. |

I'm mentally prepared to risk a build of 2.3.0 on my linux box. Where is the correct place to collect the source code - on Kevin's github page below the Windows 2.3 file where the Source code(zip) downloads with what looks like an inappropriate name ? :
BuildSigilOnMac-for_sigil_1.0.0.zip Or where should I look? |

Just go to https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil and click on the green Code button. There'll be a "download zip" link on the drop-down.
That source archive will already have a few fixes since we released the Windows and Mac betas, but that's alright. |
