event structure localization issue on OpenSuse

[cross-post]

I'm starting to use LabVIEW 2020 Sp1 on OpenSuse 15 and the event structure editor - I mean the dialog to add / edit handled event - seems to have localization issues.

Also, a difference from Windows LV, if a constant is connected to the timeout terminal, LV requires that you handle the timeout event... weird.

Is it normal / known to have these "issues"?

Your issue with Event Structure names reminds me this thread - LabVIEW Event names are completely off. Even though that was experienced on Windows and the OP solved the issue by removing LabVIEW and cleaning up the system with msiBlast. Might it be that something didn't get installed properly in your case?..

It could be, I'm running OpenSuse in a VM, I *think* LV was installed normally but then some folder were copied because VIPM is not installed but the user.lib is full of stuff.

I'll try to get a clean install but VIPM can be tricky to install on Linux.

Regarding your second issue - on which LabVIEW did you see that it doesn't require a case to handle the Timeout event if the timeout input is wired? I have checked on various LabVIEWs for Windows and even in LV 7.1 it breaks the VI and wants me to provide a Timeout case.
