Created attachment 180450 [details]
Graph is not displayed, but interactable. Works fine if running as root (sudo filelight))

SUMMARY
Filelight no longer correctly displays graph overview when running as normal user. Relevant tool tips are still shown and it is still possible to interact with it even though it is invisible.  Running as root seems to resolve this issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Launch Filelight
2. Initiate scan

OBSERVED RESULT
Graph view is not displayed

EXPECTED RESULT
Graph view of used storage space

Hi - can you please confirm what kind of graphics card you have?

Thanks!

RTX 4060 (using proprietary drivers version 570.133.07-1 if relevant). Today I had an opportunity to test it on a laptop with Radeon 760m iGPU and it works fine. It now seems to me like it is a driver bug. Sorry for wasting your time if that is the case.

Thanks! Merging this in with an existing issue that matches those requirements for showing up.
