One thing you should be aware of is that the 3.11.x releases are
development releases, not stable releases.  The current stable release
is 3.10.3.

I suspect that 3.11.3 will be OK to use, but you may not get much help
here since the residents of this list tend to use the stable releases.

If you run Evolution from the command line, do you see any  errors
relating to the drawing of windows?
