More on issue #360 in LMMS using Element - it also affects all menus, even the node menu etc. So it is (almost?) impossible to delete node or select anything that needs a menu, or even any keyboard shortcuts (that I can tell).
For example, the only option to add plug-ins is drag-and-drop from the Plugins tab on the left hand side, but one cannot Replace, Duplicate, Remove etc.

i was researching on this exact problem and it looks like it's about how vestige handles vst's and not specifically about element.

here's a workaround

• edit
• config
• plugin embedding to no embedding

i'm not the one who found the workaround, credits to this guy in this forum
(i know i'm late, though i really hope this can help any person that gets this problem and stumbles across this forum)
