I can confirm this behavior on my end. I'm running Manjaro with the optional KDE git packages from their repos. The exact date when it first started escapes me, it was likely around 2 months ago after a 5.18 prerelease update. Same issue when starting Gwenview from terminal, no relevant error message (only some libpng complaints about mismatching color profiles). I hope it's alright to set the status to confirmed, there is at least one other person in the linked thread claiming to have this issue. Weird. Cannot reproduce. Confirmed on my gentoo box as well: plasma 5.18.4 frameworks 5.69.0 apps 19.12.3 qtcore 5.14.1 My current workaround: close the separate thumbnail window and click on "Thumbnail Bar" button twice, works consistently. I'm not really sure about this but i think it happens when the image is not cached, thats why it stopped happening in my video when i opened the same image than before, but as soon as i open another one it happens again I can confirm this as well, and I may have a fix.
Removing ~/.config/gwenviewrc and restarting the program fixed the problem for me.
Reconfiguring Gwenview to my personal taste did not reintroduce the bug, so I thought this might be an upgrade issue with the configuration file.
I did a diff on the old and newly-generated configuration files. Perhaps the directive "State" may have something to do with it:
gwenviewrc.old
State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAAv4AAAGcAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAA
gwenviewrc
State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAB3gAAAOiAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAA
I tried replacing the line in the new file with the old one, but it didn't seem to re-trigger the bug.

After deleting the config it keeps happening to me *** Bug 421005 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Weird. Cannot reproduce. This only happens to me if the thumbnail bar is already opened when gwenview starts. Deleting the cache or not does not seem to make a difference for me. For what it's worth, I tested it with the self compiled build: 1) v20.04.1 Bug could be reproduced after the third attempt 2) latest git (73b84a8fde067b4f8c9242a2b8e514eb9b8bbf2a) with the same config file and I could reproduce it. This means the bug is still there. --- Next I checked the config files as tdr suggested. For that: 1) mv .config/gwenviewrc .config/gwenviewrc.bak 2) Open gwenview, display the thumbnail bar 3) repeat until the bug triggers: gwenview ~/images/test.image Alt + F4 As I could no longer reproduce the bug (after ~30 attempts) I compared the old with the new generated config file. There were a lot of differences, but I started by putting the following line > AnimationMethod=DocumentView::GLAnimation from the gwenviewrc.bak and copied it to the [ImageView] section of the gwenviewrc config file so that it looked like this > [ImageView] > AnimationMethod=DocumentView::GLAnimation > ThumbnailSplitterSizes=649,187 With that I could easily reproduce the bug again. Maybe you can check your config files for this line too! Created attachment 129916 [details] Problematic gwenviewrc config file I tested it extensively again with the config. The only line which triggers it for meis the one given above. Interestingly the relevant(?) code is already very old: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/blame/master/lib/documentview/documentviewcontainer.cpp#L90 https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/blame/master/lib/documentview/documentviewcontainer.cpp#L309 Maybe this is a Qt / QGLWidget bug / regression? Just to complete this report from my side: AnimationMethod=DocumentView::SoftwareAnimation AnimationMethod=DocumentView::NoAnimation don't trigger this bug. Only AnimationMethod=DocumentView::GLAnimation Additionally, the QGLWidget object, which is created when DocumentView::GLAnimation is used, has been marked deprecated and obsolete since Qt5.4 and was superseded by QOpenGLWidget in 2014. [1] Maybe porting it to the newer component helps in this case? [1] https://www.qt.io/blog/2014/09/10/qt-weekly-19-qopenglwidget *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 427569 *** |
