Turned off hardware acceleration and the flashing is gone. Not much acceleration needed in an editor anyway! PageEdit will not start from within Sigil 2.3...it just ignores clicking on the X. I checked the path and it is OK, and of course I can run PageEdit from the CL. Cheers! |

I'm assuming you're using the kernel's built-in AMD Radeon drivers? It is my understanding that most people don't resort to proprietary drivers for Radeon like they do for Nvidia. |

This box is from System76 and less than a year old, so I can't see the video becoming obsolete...but who knows in this world! I do have a non-standard monitor: it is a 42-inch TCL 4K television, run through the hdmi port. It has never given any problems, though. |

In the meantime, a simple workaround (without needing to rebuild PageEdit with 6.7.2) is to create a bash script named pageedit.sh (the pageedit basename is important) with the following contents: Code:
#!/bin/sh # Unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH so PageEdit can use its own Qt unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH exec pageedit "$@" If you do end up rebuilding pageedit with the alternate Qt6.7.2 version. You'll need to go back to calling the pageedit binary directly, because this workaround script won't work. Last edited by DiapDealer; 07-13-2024 at 10:00 AM. |

I've ended up with notes that are much larger than the code and source code files that 75% comments so I can have a chance to figure out just what was I doing when I wrote this a few years back.

My coding days were long before things like GITHUB.
I also started many coding tasks by writing basic comments (pseudo code), then making code to get the job done. I remember looking at some of my early code and remarking 'I wrote that mess!' We made progress toward more 'Elegant' code. |

I've downloaded the .exe of 2.3 beta for my W10 (up-to-date) box and it appears to work fine with the first couple of ePubs I've tried.
One little thing surprised me: it takes a double-click on a file in the Book Browser pane to open that file for editing. I checked back on my Sigil 2.2.1 on my linux box and there it is a single click. This may be an OS thing but I do have my W10 box set to open all files with a single click (have done so for years). I rarely use the W10 box so Sigil may always have been like that in Windows. I haven't had time to try to build 2.3 on linux yet. Last edited by philja; Today at 07:10 AM. |

I've never enabled single click in Windows, so I wouldn't know past behavior. I do know that the single-click feature of KDE used to cause nasty problems with Sigil years ago. I just can't remember what they were. It may have been resolved since.

And nothing changed in that regard. To use BookBrowser to open a CodeView Tab always required a double click otherwise there is no way to select sets of files in BookBrowser for Find and Replace, renaming, specifying which are selected to pass to the Plugins, etc.

THAT was the issue I remember. Too many things relied upon clicking without opening.
