Fantastic! I can't believe this software is still being updated. Amazing work, I still find myself whipping it out every now and again. There's something extremely satisfying about polygon modelling. Thank you very much for your hard work.

Great to see a new release! Flathub page for Wings still says 2.2.9. Do you know if there's a delay before it gets updated there?

Hi everybody,

I've just tried the new release. Interesting new stuff, BUT also a very annoying change in the interface : on previous versions, when you right click somewhere on the screen, the position of the popup menu was always adjusted so that the whole window is visible, but on 2.3 (at least on Windows, haven't tried on other OS yet) the top-left corner of the popup is always located on the mouse click position, which means that if you click somewhere in the lower half of the screen, most of your popup menu is not visible. So you have to release the mouse, move it towards top screen and click again. This appears to me as having a strong impact on the workflow.

Am I the only one that this evolution bothers ?

Yeah, we already know about that.
I think you missed the Bugs Reports session: Current Version of Wings3D - bug reports->Popup menu out of screen

Go there for the fix that was already provided. Wink
