There’s an issue with the install script for linux. Installing threw the following error `Anki starting... Initial setup... orjson is missing; DB operations will be slower Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "aqt", line 31, in File "anki.lang", line 12, in File "anki._backend", line 37, in ImportError: /usr/local/share/anki/lib/anki/_backend/rsbridge.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied ` Using the install.sh from an old anki package fixed the problem. ---

well done on the hard work! On the Add screen, align the entire window to the right in RTL languages, including: the new edit bar, the headings of all the fields and the tag bar, And the contents of the fields. Another fix: On the Deck Options screen, In “The order of placement of new Cards”, the menu opening image appears on the right and not on the left ---

Something about your keyboard setup seems to be tripping Qt6 up. I recommend you fiddle with your keyboard config to determine the line that triggers it, then report the issue on [https://bugreports.qt.io/](https://bugreports.qt.io/) ---

The new Alt + I shortcut is not working for “Previous Card Info” here. I’ve tried with different kb layouts, but none of them seems to work. No add-ons / other programs are being used. As a purely cosmetic issue, the new icons are considerably bigger than those in the previous version, and, IMO, seems too large compared to other on screen elements. Same can be said of tag icons: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/5/5ed9ca2bc1346d3c21433069648664ef79524c03.png). As a suggestion, the new full-screen mode (F11) is great, but hard to discover. Would you consider adding that option to the menus (maybe under “Edit” or “Tools”? W10, QT6, no add-ons. ---
