I encountered some issues using #LXQt in both X11 and (experimental) Wayland sessions.

Issues were expected with Wayland, given its experimental status with LXQt, in which I should mention the invisible mouse pointer that resulted from using one of the compositors I tried.

The X11 issue, was unexpected though. The title bar of a window, didn't work as expected. Clicking anywhere on it, including any of the three icons to the far right (minimize/maximize/close), made that window inactive instead, including when it was fully maximized. The only way to minimize/maximize was through the window button on the LXQt panel and via the application's menu to close/exit it.

I also found the icon size on the LXQt applications menu too small and there was no setting I could find that would enlarge them.
