I hardly believe that the Warp3D libraries themselves are the reason.
Otherwise there would be more such reports (and I also use the latest
libs and don't experience such problems). If you still have the
old libs, replace the new ones with them to do some tests. For now
I have no idea about the cause of these problems.
