Description Ralf Jung 2015-09-29 09:20:02 UTC

Gwenview is entirely unusable under Cinnamon. Even when the program comes up properly, going into full-screen mode freezes the entire program for 30sec.

Often enough, the program does *not* come up properly: It ends up in some kind of degenerate full-screen mode, where it looks like it normally does (with menu bar and all), but has no title bar and covers the panel at the bottom). 

Reproducible: Always




Version: 15.08.1 (not available in the menu above)

Hi Ralf,

a few questions:

1. What is your OS, distro , versions, CPU arch, etc.?

2. Did you try it in a new UNIX user account?

3. Like #2 but with a different window manager or desktop env, such as JWM, IceWM or Xfce.

4. Did you try building gwenview from git and running it?

For the record , gwenview from git runs fine here on Xfce on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6/Cauldron, without the symptoms you described.

Comment 2 Ralf Jung 2015-10-04 14:20:58 UTC

1. I am on Debian testing amd64

2. I tried a brand new account. Logged in with cinnamon, opened a jpg-file, double-clicked for full-screen - and waited 30sec for it to happen. Then I did Alt-F4 to leave the application, opened the same jpg file again, and Gwenview was in that weird state with a menu and all, but "full-screen" as in no title bar and no panel.

3. I don't have tons of Desktops installed... gwenview works fine under KDE.

4. Nope - would that help?

Comment 3 Ralf Jung 2015-10-04 14:36:37 UTC

I just tried logging in with openbox, Gwenview behaved as expected under this window manager.

I've now tried to run gwenview on a Debian Testing ("Stretch") x86-64 VirtualBox VM , on Xfce, and am getting a dysfunctional and incomplete UI possibly due to this bug:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352622

I'll attach a screenshot shortly.

has dysfunctional UI - how do I fix it?

Comment 6 Shlomi Fish 2015-10-06 07:17:45 UTC

Seems like gwenview's Full Screen mode misbehaves with cinnamon-session-2.6.3-3.mga6 here on Mageia Linux x86-64 v6/Cauldron, too.

Comment 7 Ralf Jung 2015-10-07 20:05:30 UTC

I am now seeing similar behavior with Konsole: It starts in some kind of broken full-screen mode, after I accidentally enabled and disabled normal full-screen once.

Comment 9 Nate Graham 2017-09-09 03:38:59 UTC

Is this reproducible with later versions of Gwenview and Cinnamon?

Comment 10 Ralf Jung 2017-09-09 08:05:19 UTC

I am no longer using Cinnamon, so I cannot tell.
