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. |

Code:
Debug: initial styleHints colorScheme: Qt::ColorScheme::Light Warning: Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path '/usr/local/lib/sigil/qtwebengine_dictionaries' Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path '/opt/qt6/6.7.2/gcc_64/libexec/qtwebengine_dictionaries' Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path '/opt/qt6/6.7.2/gcc_64/libexec/qtwebengine_dictionaries' No, I never touch the video drivers. 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. |
