Description Anders Lund 2020-04-12 18:34:36 UTC

Loading a gpx file with a track, I first thought the file was broken, as I could not see the track. But it's there, just almost invisible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. load a gpx file with a track
2. There is no more steps


OBSERVED RESULT 
The track is almost invisible


EXPECTED RESULT
The track would be visible, eg a 3px red line - or configurable!

Very sad,that nothing happens in this case for such a long time. My version is 2.2.20 and the color of the gpx-tracks are not changable.

Sorry that this took so embarrassing long. Fixed with:

commit fbb2d704c615a1cd4968bed49a0d4b26c1469134 (origin/master, origin/HEAD)

    Restore former GPX rendering behavior.
    
    Previous versions of Marble rendered GPX tracks using a thick red line
    and then recentered and zoomed the map so that the newly-loaded track
    occupied most of the display.  At some point, this behavior got lost;
    for some time now, Marble has been rendering GPX tracks as a
    difficult-to-see 1-pixel-wide white line and not recentering or zooming
    the map, leading some users to the conclusion that the software wasn't
    loading the track at all.  See the following bug reports:
    
      https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419998
      https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411669
      https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370263
      https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402153
    
    This patch restores the old rendering behavior.

A fix in 3 years is clearly above average in KDE...
SCNR, and highly frustrated!

Question...when will this hit Marble?
I tried Version 2.2.20 (2.3 development version), still the thin white line....
