Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum and to using Scribus, so I apologize in advance for any stupid things I might write.
Anyway, here's my problem:
When using Scribus 1.5.7 (yes, ik it's a development version, but it was the first option offered by Manjaro's pamac) on one of my computers I have display/graphics problems in the UI when either choosing the font in a text frame border or wanting to change the line style. See the attachment screenshots for details.
System details:
System:
Host: helix Kernel: 5.4.148-1-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: GNOME 40.4
Distro: Manjaro Linux
CPU:
Info: Dual Core Intel Core i5-3427U [MT MCP] speed: 2383 MHz
min/max: 800/2800 MHz
Graphics:
Device-1: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: Lite-On Integrated Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo
Device-3: Lite-On Integrated Rear Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo
Display: wayland server: X.org 1.20.13 driver: loaded: i915
note: n/a (using device driver) - try sudo/root
resolution: <missing: xdpyinfo>
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2)
v: 4.2 Mesa 21.2.2
What's funny is that when I use Scribus on my desktop computer that is running exactly the same software setup, but uses an (old) ATI graphics card (idk which one atm as I'm writing this on my affected laptop computer) there are absolutely no glitches.
I tried using a different kernel (5.4) as I'm aware that the i915 driver has some flaws (different story), but to no avail.
Any suggestions on what might be going wrong here and how to fix it?
Thanks very much to everyone!
