Aside: I tried to open that activity in a self-compiled 2.4 (the
release, not the packages from this thread) on Linux, and got a brief
screen flash (I think that was the screen greying out and showing the
"two arrows in a circle" graphic briefly) followed by colorful
7-pointed-stars on the activity's tile.  On subsequent tries I got only
the colorful stars without the screen flash.  On stderr I got this:

qrc:/gcompris/src/activities/path_encoding/PathEncoding.qml:12:1: Type GridPath unavailable
qrc:/gcompris/src/activities/path_encoding/GridPath.qml:99:9: Type MapView unavailable
qrc:/gcompris/src/activities/path_encoding/MapView.qml:9:1: module "QtQml.Models" is not installed

So, two issues:

1. The activity doesn't start.  (Probably missing dependency or
something?  Should I install /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/qml/QtQml/Models/libmodelsplugin.so
from my OS packages?)

2. There's no error message about that.  I'd have expected an on-screen
message.

----

Also, with the same self-compiled 2.4 on Linux, in the settings screen,
the "Localized voices" label looks like an unclickable checkbox, because
the "X" / "V" graphic is to its right.  That makes sense in LTR
languages, but for RTL languages, where the "X" / "V" graphic of
checkboxes is placed to the _right_ of the checkbox's text, the
placement is misleading.

Cheers,

Daniel
