Summary | 0016913: Visual bug in font selection. | ||||
Description | In the "text property" menu (F3), when I want to select a font the scrolling list is completely glitched with color aberrations. Abherences similar to a rendering issue, leading to almost non-legible fonts, drowned in a mixture of purple, orange, white and pixel mush. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Select a text frame, press F3 (or go by any other means to "text properties") and click on the selector in the list of fonts. | ||||
Additional Information | I did a reinstall of Scribus, with no positive effect. I checked Libre Office and other apps to see if the problem was with my machine or my font list and nothing to report. More info on my setup: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.19-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 Gio of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 | ||||

I just saw the same behavior in selecting fonts via the “Style Manager” menu (F4). |
|
Weird issue... Might be a Qt bug on Manjaro as I do not observe it on Windows and on other Linux distros (tested OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Ubuntu 22.10, Linux Mint 21.1). |
|
A Qt bug looks even more likely as trunk compiled with Qt 6.4.2 does not suffer of this issue on Manjaro. |
|
In short, I found what caused this bug (without being able to systematically reproduce it). In Scribus: file/preference/user interface/main window/ In the appearance section the "appearance" field is empty by default. However, I played around with this setting to see the different themes before putting the field back to default. To test, I changed this parameter again and randomly selected another one from the list, the problem solved itself... I put it back on the empty field as the default is bug didn't come back. I deduce that I have solved my problem, a little strange but if that's it, that's fine with me. --- After your message, I decided to test a little more thing. So I created a virtual machine with Manjaro KDE, upgraded to the same version as my physical machine. Installation of Scribus, and each addition of one of my themes and each aesthetic modification I do the following: Opening scribus, creating a single page document, creating a text frame, F3 and changing the font. I tested after the fresh install of the OS I tested after installing the sweet-mars global theme I tested after installing the sweet-mars-xfce gtk theme I tested after installing the sweet-mars-transparent-toolbar theme And I couldn't reproduce my visual bug. BUT, one thing struck me, although I have exactly the same theme in my VM and on a PC the icons to close / minimize / restore the current project are not identical. And so I modified Scribus' internal theme settings, as explained in the summary above. |
