Hallo, Andreas,
could it be that you are hitting this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1357672 or one of its various variants on Windows?
(also see linked reports in comment 3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1357672/comments/3)
If so, it maybe helps to change the GTK theme (sorry, I can't give you a description about how to do this - I'm on Linux).
Kind regards, Maren
Hello.
I installed the latest version of Inkscape on Windows 10.
Three effects I recognize:
1 Inkscape needs extremly long to start (about 15 seconds), much longer than every other application (about 1-2 seconds) on my PC with an SSD.
2 When I click any entry in the menu toolbar, an empty rectangle appears. Not any command is visible.
3 When I hover over any symbol in the vertical toolbar as well an empty rectangle appears.
How can I solve the problem please?
Thanks.
Andreas
