graphics glitches - new for me
it's a bit of time since I updated Calibre,
but now I have and I'm having some graphics issue - nothing compromising its usability, but however...
you can see by yourself in the image: the red lines and the suspicious-looking small vertical dents.


Linux version here, Fedora FC13

thanks!

alessandro

I dont use Fedora so I can't really help, that kind of this can be caused by all sorts of things ranging from buggy graphics card drivers to some incompatibility in the various X11 libraries and so on...

I will say that I dont see that in any of the linux distros I use.

I'm curious, what version of calibre are you using?

it's been present at least in the latest 3 updates, now I have the current 0.7.33.
Can it be related to something in the GTK themes? I'm not expert on this, but does Calibre use GTK themes? How can I check which theme is Calibre using?

Didn't Qt 4.7 arrive in calibre around 3 or 4 releases ago? There might be compatibility issues with it and your version of Fedora. The Qt forums might be a good place to look.

I know absolutely zero about Fedora but calibre's graphical toolkit for Linux changed to Qt 4.7.1 in version 0.7.28. and it looks like Fedora changed to Qt 4.7.1 in FC14. Updating your version of Fedora might help.

From calibre's change log.
Quote:
Release: 0.7.28 [12 Nov, 2010]

New Features
  • Update the version of the graphical toolkit (Qt 4.7.1) used in the calibre binary builds on windows and linux. This should result in a significant speed up for the calibre ebook viewer

you can try running qtconfig and select a different style.

problem solved - not by using qtconfig (here named qtconfig-qt4) but instead going into System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Style and deselecting Oxygen - probably broken but who knows... (QtCurve is even worse)
