Hey, It does solve the problem in the menus but it does not solve it in dropdowns. So it works only partially - at least for me. The Choose ANGLE graphics backend -> D3D11on12 setting worked for me for both menus and dropdowns. And it works in both Win10 and Win11 VMs. Looks like D3D may need some touches on the hypervisor. Possibly (untested) disabling 3d acceleration in the hypervisor could help here as well.
