Description Kamo 2020-03-01 21:38:55 UTC

SUMMARY
Exiting from fullscreen causes slight flicker as the screen disappears and reappears again. A minor issue, but if you use fullscreen frequently it becomes irritating.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter fullscreen.
2. Exit fullscreen.

OBSERVED RESULT
When exiting from fullscreen, the program flickers a little.

EXPECTED RESULT
Smooth transition just like when entering fullscreen.

Under Linux, the flicker effect when application switch from full screen to normal screen do not exists. I confirm the dysfunction under Windows.

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2022-01-13 16:18:11 UTC

Under MacOS, it's also different. Back to full screen to normal screen reduce the application size to a reduced version than original size.

I think the dysfunction under Windows is due to the window manager which is different than X11 under Linux and MacOS.

Note: under windows, outside the fact that a flicker effect is visible, the windows size is well restored to the original size when we switch from full to normal screen...

Maik,

With the port to Qt6, the problem remain, especially with Image Editor.
