I've found a couple of things that aren't quite right in LibreCAD, but
not serious ones. I used the free QCAD up to the point of the fork, and
it was really quite buggy for a long time. The zoom went wild at some
magnifications, among other things. I jumped to LibreCAD when it
appeared and I'm reasonably happy with it. All the bad QCAD bugs were
fixed long ago, and I would assume they are fixed in QCAD now, if only
by porting from LibreCAD. I do only use it occasionally, maybe twelve
hours a year, so it may be much more irritating to a heavy user.

Is there no way you can get hold of, say, an old laptop and run unstable
just for this? Version 2.1.3 currently. My poor little nine-year-old
netbook was just about useable for this when hooked up to a large
screen, though it's got stretch on it at the moment. Stretch apparently
has 2.1.2 and I don't recall much major happening in the last year or
two, well, let's say I haven't noticed anything new or fixed. (edit)
looking at the changelog, there doesn't seem like anything that I would
notice, I'm on Qt 5.11 but I wouldn't build from source.
