Hi Folks, There have been a small number of reports of rendering problems since around March this year but with apparently no progress. I thought I'd let people know of the bug report which had been filed so that devs with more experience with the rendering might have a look and see if they happen to instantly recognize what's going on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1556368 The most common complaint seems to be "I upgraded some Debian-based distro and now the rendering in eeschema and pcbnew-legacy has problems which make it unusable, but pcbnew-opengl works." A few people also mention that their machine has some Intel chipset but there are too few reports to see if the chipset actually has anything to do with the problem. There are too few reports and too little information at the moment, but I'm hoping someone might have seen this problem before and know what might be happening. It is not clear if the reports have some relation to the bug which was discussed here and which has a workaround: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg17048.html Some of the reports suggest that the 2 bugs may not be quite the same even if the results are similar since the known bug affects wxGTK3 + GTK3 while one report on the more recent bug suggest that wxGTK3 + GTK2 is also affected. - Cirilo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
