You can search the Livecode Quality center for Big Sur bugs. As I recall 
the 3 main ones were:

1) A bug with custom window shapes (not an issue if you do not use any 
custom window shapes)
2) A bug with the highlights on tabbed buttons (not an issue if you do 
not use tabbed buttons - also there was a script work-around available)
3) An issue with dialogs displayed "as sheet"

These bugs are resent under Big Sur (regardless of whether you are on 
the M1 chip or Intel) in LC 9.6.1 and are fixed in 9.6.2rc1

Again, search the https://quality.livecode.com/ for "big sur" for details
