I'd let the maintainer close it to ensure they've seen it, but yes, I think it's useful feedback to know somebody tried it out!

Thanks. > Polynomial-C mentioned [drawing] issues at https://bugs.gentoo.org/774918#c2 > but I haven't seen anything like that yet. Not sure if there's an upstream report. https://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4366 Particularly see comments 10, 12 and 15. 10 explains the (immediate) root of the problem (gtk3/wayland require all drawing to be from the widget's draw event and ignore drawing calls elsewhere) and contains the patch that went into 4.0.0, while acknowledging there's still minor issues it doesn't address. The reply from Paul (claws-upstream maintainer) in 12 acknowledges the 10 patch as a short-term mostly-fix while pointing out that the real fix would be to rewrite summaryview to use GtkTreeView (as was done for folderview), and comment 15 closes the bug noting that the (modified) 10 patch is in-git, for what became 4.0.0. So upstream's definitely aware of the problem and accepted what went into 4.0.0 as a stop-gap (mostly-)fix. As the bug was closed with that and I'm no longer on -9999 I don't know current-tree status re a proper fix. And thanks for the general-question answer as well. =:^) (FWIW I actually switched from -9999 back to release for 4.0.0 in part to help with the gentoo-level testing. But I believe further 4.0.0 testing here's of little additional benefit, and I've been running all kde-frameworks/plasma/apps as live-git-9999 for years now and miss having that live view into claws-upstream as well, so I'll likely switch back to claws-mail-9999 relatively soon.)
