Linux official build (not appimage, that one works as intended). Ubuntu 24.04.
how to reproduce: enable click mouse scrolling, try to scroll the map with any click, graphics freeze, nothing happens until click release.

I guess this is caused by newer Linuxes not supporting SDL1 anymore.

If that's the case, I will stop making those builds and provide AppImages only.

I'd ask not stop making the builds. You can install the original SDL1 library also on newer Linuxes. While erroneous bug reports now and then are unfortunate, I don't think we have seen a big flood of them at least so far to cause a major problem. Not having to resort to AppImages is still beneficial, for example because AppImages are AFAIK not created for all the snapshots (and I'm not sure if AppImages are otherwise also as handy as the native executable).
