The idea is the user edits the collision polygon visually in the Animations Editor. Why do you want to overwrite it? Do you expect it to work with undo? Changing the project from addons is quite tricky - just undo alone is quite a complicated area: either we add all the (significant) API surface to handle undo and redo properly, and you write all the code necessary to handle it for your changes, or we don't and in some cases undo is broken for the user.

If you ask for hardware details of those affected it can help identify it. For example if everyone affected is using an NVIDIA GPU, and people using AMD GPUs are not affected, it's likely an NVIDIA Linux driver bug. If everyone with all sorts of GPUs are affected, it probably means it's not a driver bug. Don't discount that it could be a mistake in your own project's logic - it is possible even if it seems like it only happens on Linux. There could be something different about Linux (such as resolution, frame scheduling, etc) that causes a bug in your project logic.

If you have weird graphical issues on Linux only, it's most likely a graphics driver bug. Installing the latest drivers may help, or installing proprietary drivers if you're using open-source drivers.

Unfortunately poor quality graphics drivers are an industry-wide problem, and Linux can be particularly problematic with them as well.

To avoid abuse, some browser features only work in a user input trigger, like a click or a touch - or within a certain time limit after the user input. Closing the browser window may be one of them.

In addition to the rumble feature, I should point out that installing GameInput will no longer allow the PS4 gamepad to be used.

I tested a PS4 gamepad with GameInput and it worked for me.

That technique is now redundant in Construct 3. Either make a function and check Copy picked and it automatically re-uses the same picked instance at the time the function was called, or make a custom action.

The purpose of beta releases is to identify and fix such issues before they reach a stable release. Using beta releases means you are opting in to help test for these issues. If you encounter a problem with a beta release, please file an issue.

I'd advise contacting supportwrn@construct.net for such queries as generally they can't be dealt with in a public forum without sharing sensitive information.

Typically you'd do masking/clipping using blend modes like 'destination out' with a force own texture layer. That's all done using the regular engine - do you really need to use the SDK for that? If you want to set something like that up automatically in an addon, you could probably do it using the existing layer and blend mode APIs.
