Am I running the wrong version of LibreCAD?  I"ve got 2.0.9.  Nothing seems to work.  Preferences menus do nothing when you click, icons too small to notice, much less read or recognise, and there's no text to tell you what they mean, nothing happens when you hover over them, and the screen is still all-black all the time.  I cannot even make a line, much less select one or get to its properties.  The user manual looks nothing like my screens, either, it's constantly showing screenshots from what looks like an entirely different program.  I'm also being told to click on something whose name is given, but since I don't know what names are associated with what icons, I'm still lost.  A lot of these free programs have experimental versions floating out there, for example, with GIMP or EMACS, every other one is for developers only.  Do I need to get ahold of 2.0.10 or 1.9.x?
