I’m not sure this happened since Anki was in this state when I came back to my computer, but on the main window, nothing was responsive and the layout didn’t update when I resized it. When I made the window very wide, however, I could see the “Study Now” button peeking out from behind the deck list, so it seems like the deck list wasn’t hidden when it was supposed to be. Clicking “Study Now” opened the study view, but the deck list was still shown. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/d/d0129f76e11ee7262ba0c69723e23f5b07b78397.png) Clicking “Decks” produces **two** deck lists, but the top one does not respond. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/0/04e5215b58ccf55e5c9cb2db6a6f6416c519d6aa.png) Version Info: Version ⁨2.1.57 (6b7d372c)⁩ Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.4.2 PyQt 6.4.0 No Add-ons installed. ---

Not related to the problem, but could you move to 2.1.58+ 2.1.57 had a bug in it Latest version can be found: [Releases · ankitects/anki · GitHub](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases) **if you could try to replicate in 2.1.60, it would be helpful or maybe it could solve the issue** > This release fixes an issue in 2.1.57 that caused cards and deck presets > to be reset to the default ease, if you exported a .colpkg with compatibility > with older clients enabled, or used the downgrade and quit option, then opened > the collection again.

Please make a backup before proceeding. ---

That issue looks like a rendering problem in the web toolkit/your graphics driver. ---

This just happened again, now on Version ⁨2.1.61 (5ad29c37)⁩. @dae, are you saying that this is not a problem with Anki, itself? ---

Yes, it’s very unlikely to be caused by Anki’s code. ---
