Do you think the so called problems of M11 will be solved with M11P ?

No, I don’t think so.. the maestro processor will remain the same, so will the megapixels.. remember the m10p .. nothing has changed . Jut a new touch screen, a perspective control and a new top plate arrived with an engraving and a screw instead of the red dot.. and no need to mention the silent shutter.. but the image quality remained the same..

so can we say anyone hoping the m11 will the medicine for the low light noise and the locking issues will be disappointed?

so at the sum I think M11 will be coming with new top plate, with no red dot and maybe with some new a few software additions.. that’s all..

The problems you're referring to have been fixed by firmware 1.6 for me so i would only upgrade if the M11-P has IBIS, which is highly unlikely, or perhaps a shorter shutter actuation.

For me I never had such problems that’s why I said “so called” ..

The only upgrade can be shorter shutter actuation..

A true 'P' camera in my mind needs no cosmetic changes. Just one thing - instant start up time. It's what actual 'professionals' need. 

I believe only film cameras have instant startup time.

Real Leicaman only buy the P-model if it costs more than 10 grant! This is actually not that unrealistic considering the current price developments 🙂 

But I agree with some of the previous posters, would be quite critical if Leica releases a new model of a model that still has issues to be fixed. Just adding new features does not really help to compensate 😉 And if things are only solvable with a new model (hardware-wise), then we and Leica have a much bigger problem.

It depends what’s causing the issues. 
 

I’m no electronics engineer, but say for the sake of argument that on one of the circuit boards supplied from outside Leica, a capacitor exists that is of random poor quality. 
 

Leica would presumably have the supplier change it - and if their contract lawyers are any good, will have the supplier liable for the cost of any necessary repairs. 
 

it might be easier to implement new boards at the P introduction, especially if the internal memory is enhanced for example, which I think would be a good differentiator.

I'll say it again, for what it's worth, my sample size of 1 Leica M11 has only had freezing issues when the battery power got very low. When the battery has a sufficient charge to operate, it has worked flawlessly. This is the best digital camera I have ever owned (and I have owned Leica M9-P, Leica M-P typ 240, Nikon D800E, Nikon D850, Ricoh GR digital II and III). I am sure there are M11 cameras with problems, but they are likely to be a small minority of those sold. Electronic devices have bathtub shaped failure rates, so the majority of failures occur very soon after a device begins to be used, or after a decade or so. Leica is not immune to this problem which is inherent to any product with complex circuitry that can be brought down by the failure of one component. Leica has excellent warranty and customer service, so if your new Leica M11 craps out in a week they will exchange it for another, and you will likely be good to go for as long as you will likely want to use the camera.
