Is this with an auto downloading map tiles?
This has historically been a source of problems...

These issues don't seem to apply to the Linux version.
Some work was done to address reliability problems - but this should have made
the Windows version better too - not worse :(
A side effect for the redrawing rework perhaps is on the clearing of the track
display text as well on Windows.

It ships with many supporting dlls, however I don't think there are any changes
(in version but the file dates have changed). Which points to the Viking change.
I personally don't use Windows for my personal projects, so from my limited
usage under Windows - it seemed to work - basically open a gpx, view a map.
At least 1.2.1 is working for you.
