This is not the only menu that didn't work properly: moving the mouse cursor on the lower arrow made the list moving up; but is impossible to make the list moving down when I put the mouse over the upper arrow.
The only workaround (time consuming but effective) is to select the first upper paper size: selecting again the menu I can see tha current selection in the second position: I select the one above it; and so on, until I find what I need.

Unfortunately, this is an issue with Qt or with the window manager in use in combination with Qt. This cannot be fixed from the QCAD side.

You might want to force the use of a different style:

./qcad -style plastique

Or:

./qcad -style windows

Fast reply, thank you.
Could you explain to me more extensively the way to this?
Thank you.

You will have to start QCAD from a terminal. For example, launch the terminal application and type:

cd ~/opt/qcad-3.16.5-pro-linux-x86_64
./qcad -style plastique
