Hello.

I’m using ParaView 5.10.0 and 5.12.1 in WSL2 GUI at Windows 11 computers.  
If some toolbars (output messages, Properties, etc.) popup, I can’t click popup toolbars and dock to main window.  
The Windows version does’t occur this appearance.

I’m using HI DPI options in WSL2.  
This is part of my `.wslgconfig` file.

```auto
[system-distro-env]
WESTON_RDP_HI_DPI_SCALING=true
WESTON_RDP_FRACTIONAL_HI_DPI_SCALING=true

```

ParaView does not officially support WSL, why not using the Windows binary ?

Thanks for your response.  
The Windows binary Paraview suddenly shutdown when I use “Slice” and “Gradient” filters.  
I don’t know if this problem is only occur on my computer. But Linux Paraview in my WSL system works well.

I have the same problem, paraview in WSL. Would be nice if it were working to use paraview directly in the current working directory, instead of opening in Windows and always navigating to the WSL directory.

I am not able to click with the mouse in, for example the Choose Preset color bar type (i.e. rainbow)… I can use tab and enter to select something. If other pop-up warnings or errors I also cannot click to close them.

of course setting a favorite path is fine, so this isn’t a major problem…
