Hi @bobsummerwill , thanks for your detailed report! 
Status 2.31 is close to the release date, but it’s still in the release candidate phase and, therefore, buggy. I don’t recommend you use 2.31 for day-to-day use yet.
Please hold tight for the 2.31 official release for Linux. This new version has ironed out many errors.~
Status 2.31-beta is now available.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
