XQuartz version was mostly better

Every time a vew version comes out I hope that screen glitches have been fixed, and so far every time is a huge disappointment. I’ve given up on this for now and am back to XQuartz.

FREQUENT screen corruption / garbage; a lot of times I have to highlight text to see what it says. No way to send a print screen without an external keyboard or using the onscreen keyboard. Same goes for other keyboard shortcuts, it lacks a menu to send keystrokes as needed. This is pretty basic functionality.

Copy / paste is the only reason to use this rather than the XQuartz version. Copy/paste works great on XQuartz until you copy something huge and then sit waiting for it all to transmit over the network. I haven’t seen this even attempt to copy something large… in fact I frequently have to “copy” it twice to get it to paste correctly. On second thought maybe this isn’t such a great implementation of this feature.

The icons (you’re going to be staring at them a lot) are HUGE. No way to customize their appearance / size.

In general it’s glitchy and unrefined, like a bad beta version.
