Ladies and Gentlemen,
I've got an issue with McuXpresso newest version (11.2.0_4120.x86_64) running on Linux Mint 20. Linux Mint 20 is almost the same as Ubuntu 20, they say.
I could install it properly, no problem at all.
It starts, creates a new project, everything is fine.
When I try to edit the source code, the editor window is greyed out as I move the cursor and it takes a few second to see the source code again. Only the editor window is problematic, nothing else. But it is enough for the whole environment to be useless.
I checked with task Manager, there's no CPU overload (max 50-60%), there's no memory shortage.
Unfortunately, older versions doesn't work at all on Mint 20, they got into an infinite loop (some handler problem, I didn't record the concrete failure message) and the only way is to close the whole program.
Of course, there's only one version at the time installed.
Other SW runs properly on this machine:
(Dell Precision M6500,
CPU: Dual Core Intel Core i5 M 540 (-MT MCP-)
speed/min/max: 2793/1199/2534 MHz
Kernel: 5.4.0-45-generic x86_64 Up: 20m
Mem: 740.9/3859.6 MiB (19.2%)
Storage: 894.26 GiB (20.8% used)
Procs: 200
Shell: bash 5.0.17
inxi: 3.0.38)
What can I do to correct this strange behaviour?

Thank You, converse, You have helped me a lot!
I just run im-config, set the input method to default. Then I logged out and in, this way the X system restarted, and voila, McuXpresso works fine.
Thank You again.
