[0.19R24415] graphical glitches
Hello there!
I've been having problems for a year with FreeCAD. It has graphical glitches even in the menu toolbar.
AFAIR in a previous version for around a year, I could get rid of this with disabling the HW acceleration for drawing.
Like: LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 freecad
I combined all the switches at the X.org device parameters for my Radeon without any success.
I have an older notebook which is able to use any of AMDGPU and Radeon drivers, but that was not the root cause either.
I'm using the latest package from the Arch Linux community repo.
The official appimage is working out of box without using any env variables.
Arch package version: 0.19.4-1
FreeCAD libs: 0.19R24415

Post your full version information as explained here:
http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2264
It might be useful for someone who knows more of the issue to know the library versions in use, such as Qt and COIN.

Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
There are known to be some issues with python 3.10, but I don't know if this is related or not.
Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
same here, but I don't really sure if Python can cause such graphical errors.
I would say thats rather a problem with the graphical interface.
I even tried to roll back to a previous Python version, but the latest build is depends on Python 3.10

Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
Hello, I wanted to say that I have the same issue here. I am currently recompiling the dependencies and try to find the culprit.

Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
this might be a dpi issue, can you check what dpi you have configured?
Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
Probably is caused by the mesa package.
I have Arch Linux, and and old i3 2120 computer, and I have to stay with "mesa 21.3.7-2" as "mesa 22" was causing glitches and problems.
As mesa is "OpenGl" implementation, probably AppImage is using some different settings, from other flavours of installation.
Someone has suggested to wait for 22.1.something (that is already out) or use an alternative "mesa build" that will use old graphics driver, but until now "forcing the use of the old 21.3.7 mesa version" I have had no problem with ArtixLinux (That is an Arch Linux derivative).
Your mileage may vary as glitches could be caused in many "layers" of the "graphics stack", probably some other infos about your graphics hardware will be useful, as it may be a know problems and maybe some simple "settings change" will be fixing things.
Hope it helps.

Re: [0.19R24415] graphical glitches
I remember weird graphic issues with Anti-Aliasing settings that were too low, I set them to new values and then restarted, that fixed the problem.

thanks, that's it!adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Tue Jun 14, 2022 2:07 pm this might be a dpi issue, can you check what dpi you have configured?
I was using custom DPI settings at 90.
without that it's working like a charm.
