[SOLVED] GTK rendering issue

I've been having this issue on this fresh install of Arch with XFCE. UI elements are not rendering correctly and stuff is missing.

Is this a common issue? And is there a workaround?

How can pacman influence the behaviour of gtk2-engines? IIRC, gtk2 has been updated twice since the introduction of pacman 4, so check if the most recent update (2.24.9-2) fixes the issue in the first place.

Bad gtk rendering on KDE [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm using KDE, and since last month, all my gtk app are very ugly.
For instance, look at mkvmerge :
Menu entries :
Combobox :
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks !

Does someone have an idea ?
In kde settings, I set gtk rendering with my kde theme.
As you can see in the combobox screenshot, I can't see the scroller in the scroll area.
And I have no contour for buttons, tabs, menus, popop menus.
It's very annoying...

Is that a webkit rendering issue in Safari 5.1?

I add my voice to rendering issues encountered in Safari 5.1, here they are:
1) Fonts look pixelated on some websites. Here's an example drawn from weebly.
The font used here is OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, so I guess there must be a font rendering engine in weebly that allows non web safe fonts to be displayed properly. That works fine in Firefox 5 & 6, and until recently on Safari 5. Chrome 12 has exactly the same issue as Safari 5.1, so it could be a general rendering issue in webkit.
2) Videos on Vimeo show now a black rectangle instead of the video.
3) The "Insert image" feature in this forum takes forever to load, displaying a white rectangle during several seconds. Same issue with the Evernote clip bookmarklet.
Hope these issues will be fixed soon, any help is appreciated if something can be changed in Safari settings.
Note: resetting Safari (including cleaning cache) doesn't solve the described problems. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Quad 2.8 Ghz.

Thanks for helping diagnose this.
However, my testing indicates that this is not a bug with border-collapse: collapse. Here is why:
If I change the value of border-collapse to "separate" and add "border-spacing: 0", the bug remains. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug2.cgi .
If I leave the value of border-collapse unchanged but change the button elements in the cells to plain text, the bug disappears. To try this, request http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi .
On the basis of this testing, it would seem to me that the bug is dependent on the button elements and independent of the border-collapse CSS attribute.
This doesn't explain, however, why you have found border-collapse: collapse producing slow results with other large tables and it doesn't do so with my table in http://www.panlex.org/cgi-bin/plxu28-bug1.cgi . It also doesn't explain why you saw the bug disappear when you changed border-collapse on my page but I didn't see it disappear.
Any further diagnostic help would be welcome.

Font rendering issue & multimedia keys not working

Hi, yesterday i switched to KDEmod 4.1 and I have two major problems...
One is font rendering issue... I did not change anything in my font-related packages (cairo, freetype, fontconfig, libxft) and i have to add that this setup worked perfectly in KDEmod 3.5.9, but now it looks like this:
This bug occurs only in qt apps and mostly in kmenu... i.e firefox renders my fonts flawlessly...
Second problem are multimedia keys on my keyboard...
They worked in KDE 3.5.9, but now I cannot set them up properly... Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't...
KDE recognizes the pressed key, but when I assign specific action and press the key, just nothing happens...

You might be able to solve your font issue by going to System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts. I enable ant-aliasing. I also clicked on configure and select "Use sub-pixel rendering" to RGB and the hinting style to Full. I also use the Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI. This makes the fonts pleasing to my eyes.
This is how I got my multimedia keys to work in KDE4.1:
Go to System Settings -> Regional and Language and make sure to set the County or region to your location.
khotkeys needs to be running. I added it to the autostarted progam list. System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Autostart
When I got the multimedia keys working, I was really tring to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. In addition to the above steps, I also deleted
~/.kde4/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc. I do not know if deleting this file is needed to get the multimedia keys working, but it was to get the keyboard shortcuts woring.
Restart X
Go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
I set the volume control in the KMix component section.
To get the keyboard shortcuts to work, go to the menu editor and select the program you want to create a shortcuts for. Click on the advanced tab and create the shortcut in the shortcut field. Save.
Then go to System Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts. Change the component to KHotkeys. Select the Program and then select the default shortcut that you just created. (This works for the multimedia keys aswell).
Hope this helps,

Font rendering issue / Mountain Lion / non Apple LCD display

Hello
This font rendering issue or problem is probably well know by Apple crew too but nobody has solved it yet. Only poor solution are available such as try to adjust manually font rendering by writin some scripts concerning anti alias levels...they really dont solve the problem.
Could Apple bring us solution to this by developing or updating Mountain Lion?
So what is the problem: font rendering is very poor in Mountain Lion when using non Apple LCD. For example Fujitsu SL27T-1 LED (LCD displa) shows fonts very nice way in Windows but in Mac OS ML does not. Somebody told me that its about software vs. hardware rendering. Dont know about that but could you bring me the solution which is not advising me to buy Apple display (which is five times more expensive than other manufactures displays).

M. Leino

just want to add that overall fonts look blurry and they are not very sharp.

Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
rendering issue with bold fonts.
If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
Here are the text and link to the how to:
You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
instruction:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
You should restart system after applying setting.
Hope this helps someone
If not, then call apple support and complain....
maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
will fix this horrible bug

I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

JFX8 ListView rendering issues?

Hello
I moved to JavaFX from Flex so maybe all my issues are results of my "newbiness".
I have JFX personal project which originally was developed with JFX2 (Java 7 built-in) but currently I want to use with JFX8. Conversation went easy except strange bugs with font sizes which were solved with simple font size decreases in CSS. But after application start I found 2 strange rendering issues which I even can't understand (with JFX2 I haven't got nothing similar).
1. Example here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/485932/list_transparent_issue.png
It happens when I use mouse wheel for list scrolling. If I touch scrollbar with cursor transparent zone become filled with normal rows.
2. Example here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/485932/list_no_refresh.png
This happens more often and I even can't fix it with scrollbar. Steps which lead to this result - fill list with few elements, clear list with setItems to null (am I doing it wrong?), fill list with fewer amount of elements than in first step. As results I get visible first elements and all old elements. But, as you can see there is no scrollbar so ListView itself "understand" that amount of elements is lesser than required for scrollbar.
Hope I explained it enough clear. If it can help I use latest JDK8 x32 build (23 May?) on Win7 x64 with 8Gb RAM and ATI 6670 GPU. I don't paste code just because I don't think it's related as everything works fine on JFX2. But if need I can paste required parts.
Edited by: 1008209 on 27.05.2013 10:14

These things really sound like bugs in the early access version of JavaFX 8.
Best thing to do is to log a couple of bug reports against the JavaFX issue tracker:
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com
Unfortunately attachments don't work in the issue tracker, but if you can create an sscce http://sscce.org/ for each of the issues, posting the sscces as comments on the bug reports would likely also be helpful in getting the bug analyzed, prioritized and resolved.

StageWebView rendering issues

Hi,
I’m struggling with some problems in my flex mobile project.
On the Sony Experia S there are some rendering issues while interact with the StageWebView. As soon as I initialize a website or playback a video the whole screen around the webview area starts to flicker. To verify the problem I build a clean mobile app.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView"
creationComplete="view_creationCompleteHandler ( event )">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
      import mx.events.FlexEvent;
      public static const URL:String = "http://www.youtube.com";
      private var webview : StageWebView;
      private var r : Rectangle;
      protected function view_creationCompleteHandler ( event:FlexEvent ) : void {
          var ww:StageWebView = new StageWebView ( true );
     r = new Rectangle ( 100, 100, 800, 500 );
     ww.stage = systemManager.stage;
     webview = ww;
     webview.viewPort = r;
     webview.loadURL ( URL );
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Image id="backgroundTabBar" left="0" bottom="0" width="100%" height="68" scaleMode="stretch" source="@Embed('assets/img/background_tabbar.png')"/>
</s:View>
I recognized as soon as I set the android:hardwareAccelerated parameter to false the flickering stops. But I can’t set this parameter to false because the StageWebView is used to play videos.
Is there any known workaround or can someone give me a hint to solve the problem?
If it helps I can capture some video of the flickering effect.

Custom Cell Renderer issue in Custom JTable

I have CustomeTable extends JTable which renders different UI Components like (JTextField/ ComboBox /JButton/JCheckBox) in *"single column*" so i have overridden *getCellRenderer* and *getCellEditor methods.*
Now my Custom Table changes contextually by selecting different nodes in JTree similar to Windows Explorer
*The problem is Some times When i Click Button & then i click other Node which displays other UIComponents old components (Button is painted) instead of new COmponent(JTextfield or ...)*
*For each UI Renderer i have called its repaint() method still this issue is noticed not frequentlly but yes occasionally.*

Following are some of my Custom Text / Combo Renderer / Password / Button to display different UI Components @ Column 2 as per my above Code

               +Shouldnt i call repaint() on a specific Component for a Specific renderer ?+
My Code works perfectly 99 % of the times ..
But very rarely when i click My Button On my Custom Table say
When i click NODE A - which displays different UI in Right Split Info
Row 2 Column 2 - has Validate Button
Then i Click NODe B - Which displayes Contextual UI Components
Row 2 Column 2 should display TextBox (as expected)
but due to some rendering issue its Displaying same Validate Button
I have debugged and verified my logic to call renderer is perfect.
My rest of rows /columns displays appropriate UI Components except the
position of Button .
I think after my Button Editor is Invoked & i perform some business logic Button renderer is not getting invoked ???

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Ver. 10.1.7 rendering issues

Hello
I have rendering issues with Acrobat X Pro Ver 10.1.7.
When I zoom in to 100% and use the hand tool to move the image around, it moves about 1 inch then it freezes for 3-4 seconds, then I can move it again. This happens at all zoom %, but it gets worse as I zoom in further.
This gets even worse if I add text callouts and text boxes.
Windows reports the size of the .pdf document at about 700 Kilobytes.
I played with the Preferences - 3D & Multimedia - Rendeiring settings, etc. to no avail.
I have 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise on a DELL Precision M4500-I 1.6GHZ CORE I7 QUAD CORE laptop with 8 GB of RAM and a NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1800M with 1 GB of RAM. I also played with the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to no avail.
This gets very anoying, I need to get work done on these .pdf files and this issue slows me down, and irritates the hell out of me.
I thought my laptop is underpowered, but at this point I tend to believe it is an Acrobat issue.
Please, any input appreciated.
Thanks

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

ITunes 7 Rendering Issues

Ahoy hoy,
I became entangled in this problem upon first running iTunes;
Running it for the first few minutes, all is fine, tick-tock, no problems so far.
Then...
If one is inclined to switch applications, to say Firefox etc., hide iTunes, and then switch back to iTunes upon revealing it from that wonderful hiding place that is apple+h, it comes out all DICOMBOGULATED... of which a preview can be seen:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/duffin-tim/243757719/
It renders the interface all like, nineteen-eightees-Commador64-loading-a-game-up-like (I can post more previews of the glitch, some of them look pretty cool); what is the meaning of this?, am I alone in this problem? Coming to mind is a VRAM issue, but I am not one to speculate on such topics as it's not my professional area.

I have seen some wierd GUI rendering issues as well, notably, this one:

I can replicate this happening by closing the window (leaving the application running) and then opening it up again. The only way to make it go away is to click on the iTunes Store source and then back on my library again.

What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues. I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out. Thanks for your assistance.

Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422. You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal. This workflow will require much more drive space.

InDesign CS4 - Serious Screen Rendering Issue

I just migrated from the CS2 Suite to CS4 Suite (I uninstalled CS2 Suite first before installing CS4 Suite) on my Windows XP SP3 system.
The first thing I noticed was that InDesign CS4 (ID) had trouble rendering its screens properly when doing common functions. When the issue occurs, only "parts" of the ID app screen will display (see attached figure), and the CPU usage (as shown in Task Manager) goes to 100% usage. At this point, my system grinds to a halt, and I don't know where I am in the ID application because the screen is not fully "painted". All I can do then is shut down ID using the "End Task" option of the Windows Task Manager. As soon as ID closes, my CPU usage immediately goes back to normal (5-10% range).
So far, I've noticed this rendering issue when:
- I minimize the app to the system tray, then go to maximize it. This happens with or without an ID file open.
- I am closing/exiting a file
- any time a lot of screen repainting needs to occur when moving "in" and "out" of ID
This issue may not happen at every instance in the above circumstances, but often enough (90% of the time) to make ID virtually unusable to me. Sometimes, I am able to "jog" ID back to its senses (i.e., a proper repainting of the screen) by navigating through the ID menus. This works only sporadically, however, and the results usually do not last long.
This issue does not show up on any other of my CS4 apps (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.), nor on any of my Windows Office 2003 apps. My other colleagues in my department have not seen this issue with their CS4 ID, and some of them are running nearly identical systems as mine (everything but the Dell monitor).
What I've tried so far without any help:
- used Adobe Updater for the latest CS4 updates (I am running ver. 6.0.2 of ID)
- ran Windows Update and installed all the latest updates beyond SP3
- deleted files on my hard drive to free up space (I have 20% free)
- defragged my hard drive
- updated my display driver
- tried various screen resolutions and refresh rates of my display
Specs of my machine:
Dell Optiplex GX620
Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz CPU
80 GB Hard drive
4 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3
Dell 1907ftp LCD monitor
IE ver. 6.0.2900
McAfee 3.6.0.608 virus checking
Can anyone help?

One thing that is missing from your list of system components is the video card used on your system. And that may be the source of your problems. In general, though, we are not aware of any video problems particular to InDesign 6 as opposed to InDesign 4 which you previously had installed.
Many low-end computers from Dell and others take the low cost route by integrating a graphics display chip, typically from Intel, on the motherboard which does not have its own dedicated graphics memory. It shares memory with Windows. This has several ramifications (pun not really intended, sorry!). The first is that using main memory as video memory means that you have very slow video memory, very much slower than the memory on dedicated graphics cards. The second is that access to that memory competes with disk operations, CPU operations, and virtually everything and anything going on with your system. If in fact your system does have one of these integrated graphics chips in lieu of a real graphics card, there might not be much you can do assuming you have the latest video driver (you said you checked that) unless your Dell OptiPlex allows you to disable the motherboard integrated graphics chip and install a real video card. (To be completely fair, the integrated graphics display chips are perfectly fine for systems that are not running graphically intensive applications - Outlook, Word, and a web browser instance or two work quite well with those configurations.)
Other things that I would check would be disk space as well as fragmentation. An 80GB disk is not that big these days and if most or much of the remaining free disk space is highly fragmented (as it might be after uninstalling CS2, installing CS4, and perhaps doing a whole bunch of Windows updates including SP3), disk operations, including page file operations, might be excrutiatingly slow.
