Created attachment 183488 [details] App window with image displaying rotating gear icon SUMMARY I am using 25.04.3 Tokodon on Kubuntu 25.04 under Wayland and I am finding that quite often, but not always, the images contained in posts are not always displayed automatically, the image is sitting there with the gear icon rotating as though it’s trying to download the image. The image is displayed in the pop-up window, when clicking on the image, and I am finding that, if I right click and go to save image, it’s nearly always either .jpg or .jpeg but have not done an extensive test. If, however, I close the app and restart it immediately, all the images previously not showing are displayed, but if I click on the Load More Tokodon updates and when scrolling up, the images are back to the rotating gear icon. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run Tokodon snap. 2. Scroll up to view posts with embedded images. OBSERVED RESULT Quite often the image will be replaced with a coloured background and a rotating gear icon in the centre. EXPECTED RESULT View the image SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 25.04 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.8.3 Kernel Version: 6.14.0-24-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.0 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 snap: 2.70 snapd: 2.70 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Error log info: https://mastodonapp.uk/api/v1/notifications/unread_count: Error transferring https://mastodonapp.uk/api/v1/notifications/unread_count - server replied: https://mastodonapp.uk/api/v2/notifications/policy: Error transferring https://mastodonapp.uk/api/v2/notifications/policy - server replied: SEE ALSO: https://discuss.kde.org/t/tokodon-does-not-always-load-images-in-posts/37352
This was an annoying Qt regression, but I believe it's QTBUG-138399 and suspected to be fixed in 6.9.2 releasing next month. A workaround might be to disable HTTP/2 somehow, but I'm not sure how to on an application-level. Despite this not being a Tokodon bug, I want to keep this bug open to track it and help other users affected by this :)
Closing as 6.9.2 is here and fixes this issue. I don't know if they backported it 6.8.X though, sorry.
