Description TonyP 2018-04-09 20:39:21 UTC
After a recent update... well, see attached screenshot :-(
It's a 4k screen, but still, if you doubled the cards in x and y directions, they'd _still_ be too small to use.

This has happened on and off in the past, but I've always found one deck that worked. Not this time. 

I appreciate that this is a duplicate of other tickets, but I can see one dating back to 2012, and this issue still happens, so I'm hoping that by raising a fresh BR a bug that makes the app UNUSABLE will finally be addressed.
Comment 1 TonyP 2018-04-11 05:12:23 UTC
OK, further info: Workaround (for the decks I've tried it with).Unmaximise window. Fix persists after window is maximised again.

There's no attached screenshot?

Not sure how a screenshot would help. Imagine a playing surface. Imagine cards that are too tiny to read whats on them. It looks like that.

Comment 6 Albert Astals Cid 2018-09-08 20:34:01 UTC
I just tried with a 4K laptop and can't reproduce it at all.

Can you try creating a new user in your laptop and running kpatience as that user? That may we make sure there's not something weird in your local configuration that is breaking it.
Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2018-09-27 01:14:11 UTC
If you can provide the information requested in comment #6, please add it.
Comment 8 TonyP 2018-09-27 19:27:06 UTC
Will do. Since it doesn't happen all the time, may take a while to prove a negative on a new user.
Comment 9 TonyP 2018-09-28 08:57:41 UTC
Yep, happens for another user. Doesn't happen on a VM run on this machine.
Doesn't happen on my new Dell with intel graphics.
Something low level? NVidia with Nouveau driver (but iirc also happened when I had NVidia drivers installed).

Current machine is ASUS Zenbook Pro ux501jw, now a few years old. If I'm the only one complaining about this, suggest you file it under 'too hard' and close it :-)
Comment 10 Christoph Feck 2018-10-13 22:28:30 UTC
Let's keep this ticket open if you still see it. Maybe someone can reproduce and propose a fix.
Comment 11 Sebastian Kenn 2018-11-19 20:08:27 UTC
I've the same Problem on Kubuntu with Plasma 5.14.3 since I changed my screen to 4K
Comment 12 Oberon 2019-01-01 19:57:27 UTC
I have this same issue on Linux Mint 19.1 with a 4k screen.  For some reason the "Oxygen Air" deck appears at normal size, all others are tiny.  I tried installing all of the optional decks and none of them work either.  

A clean reinstall of kpat made no difference. I tried creating a new user as requested in Comment #6 and running kpat as that user; also no difference.  Maximizing and unmaximizing also did not work for me.  

Using the Oxygen Air deck in the meantime until resolved.

Comment 14 Sebastian Kenn 2019-08-22 18:22:22 UTC
Works again on Plasma 5.16.4
Comment 15 Sebastian Kenn 2019-08-22 18:22:56 UTC
on KDE neon
Comment 16 Albert Astals Cid 2019-09-01 17:52:30 UTC
Anyone that had this problem like Sebastian can confirm it's fixed?
Comment 17 Oberon 2019-09-01 18:20:36 UTC
Not fixed for me, although I'm running it under Mint 19.2 MATE.
Comment 18 Albert Astals Cid 2019-09-01 18:48:50 UTC
I don't care which desktop environment you're using, it's only a matter of which kpat version you're using
Comment 19 Oberon 2019-09-01 19:53:50 UTC
Latest updates installed, cards are still nano.
Comment 20 Albert Astals Cid 2019-09-01 20:13:42 UTC
"Latest updates" is not a valid answer for "which kpat version you're using"
Comment 21 Oberon 2019-09-01 20:26:42 UTC
I hear you, I'm just no longer at the computer where I have it installed, and won't be able to check the version for a couple of days. But I updated to whatever the latest version is in the repositories before posting.
