Calibre Display Error

the_Pan · 11-03-2022, 04:40 PM

Hi folks,

I have a custom yes/no column for my read books, and I set it to show only the icons.
So when I get new books in my library, this column shows the red cross for "not read".
But if I edit the state appear suddenly two icons in this one column.

How can i correct this?

I'm on Manjaro Gnome, using wayland and calibre 6.7.1.

It would have been nice if your told us what version of calibre you are using. I suspect it is 6.7.0, in which case update to calibre 6.7.1.

There are many (!) reports of problems with calibre and wayland. I don't think this is one of them, but I don't know that.

Oh sorry, I forgot that detail.
I edited my start post as I am already using calibre 6.7.1.

This was fixed a while ago look at the version number at the bottom of the main calibre window, what does it show?

I just updated to calibre 6.8, and it seems to be okay now again.

Before I updated, I tested again with gnome-X.org and Cinnamon-X.org, the behaviour was still the same.
So it seems it wasn't a Wayland problem.
