Help with Linux app built with LC on Mac

[Paul - Livecode]

Hi Tom, thanks for the suggestion. No, there is no browser in the app, it is just a simple app for manipulating and editing specific CSV files. It does use quite a few modern widget controls though, mainly a Polygrid and a few Powerbuttons. Although I also tested a very simple hello world app, and I couldn’t get that to run in Linux under Parallels on Mac M2, both my app and the simple test run fine in Linux under Parallels on an Intel Mac, so there is definitely something odd going on. Not sure if it’s just my setup or if it’s a LC/Parallels/M2 thing. 

I’m hoping to send it off to LC today, but I’m going to be travelling for a few days after tomorrow, so I may have to follow up with this later next week.

Paul
