I have an odd problem with checkboxes in gui dialogs:
they don't show any checkmarks. If I click on a
checkbox, a checkmark will appear for a fraction of
a second then disappear. From the program's behavior
I can tell that the setting got set but it is obviously
difficult if one can not see which boxes are checked
in a dialog and which aren't.
This problem seems to be limited to Gnome apps (the ones
with the new -- at least to someone coming from F15 --
and really unpleasant UI design). For example, brasero
exhibits the effect but k3b doesn't.
Does this problem ring a bell with anyone?
Yes, I had this problem today - with kvm, or perhaps virt-manager.
I was running a virtual instance of WindowsXP, and wanted to activate
the USB port to talk with a TomTom GPS device. When I clicked on the
appropriate box, a check appeared, then disappeared.
The USB port was, in fact, activated, but that behaviour is quite
unsatisfactory.
I, too, am running F21 and Xfce4. I studiously avoid Gnome.
After considerable playing around I discovered that the missing
checkmark effect occurs on whenever an xfce* style is selected
in app-menu -> settings -> appearance.
Coming from Fedora-15, I tried Gnome in this new F21 install
somewhat expecting an improvement in the last three years but
it seems they've borked it up even worse -- scrolling with
a mouse is now really FUd, the UI take more clicks and uses
more space, and the Open menu is a mess. The Gnome project
seems completely off the rails.
