Editor stopped working (v7.13)
The book editor suddenly stopped working. when opening the editor I get a black window. Other parts - the 2 use: manager and viewer - behave as usual.
haven't opened the editor in a few weeks so I'm not sure when it exactly this happened. |

Define STOPPED better.
On what OS. Is there an icon (still) in the tool tray? What does the header of the window show, eg (not Responding) Video drivers are a common cause of a Frozen video. Anti-malware blocking the 'worker' (or the request for permission is off screen) Have you tried using the Editor with a different book (the book may have a weird corruption or DRM) |

I tried multiple books - it's the same for all of them. Last edited by pdurrant; 07-09-2024 at 07:26 AM. |

THis will be an issue with your GPU drivers update them or if they were recently updated roll back the update. Or try turning off hardware acceleration in as described here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-debugging.html

You might think that page's explanation is clear, but it's not for me. How do I use [--disable-gpu]? just trying the run the editor with ebook-edit.exe --webEngineArgs --disable-gpu doesn't work.
Also, after some clicking around the black windows, I realized all the elements are present: clicking on the general top-left area open the dropdown menu; I can copy html from the general area of the text editor, and so on... It's just that everything is black. |
