> Maybe you could mention the AltGr issue with 2.1.28 somewhere. As I understood it, you have to wait for a Qt fix for that? Because it makes 2.1.28, as cool as it is, almost unusable for people with keyboard layouts that rely heavily on AltGr combos. As a German user, I cannot for example type any of these characters on 2.1.28: @{}~²³|

Does setting the following environmental variable before starting Anki help?

QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=windows:altgr
