Description Davide Bettio 2011-05-15 15:33:45 UTC
Version:           2.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When 30 bit display color depth is enabled in xorg.conf (DefaultDepth 30 and Depth 30) gwenview is unable to display correctly any image that hasn't got an alpha channel (for example JPEGs are not displayed correctly while PNGs are displayed correctly if they have an alpha channel). When this issue happens gwenview displays blue/violet corrupted images. This issue doesn't happen with kolourpaint/okular or image magik display.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Enable 30 bit color depth.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Gwenview 25.08.0 (the latest released version)?
