Hello! I come with a problem i had since forever but just now ocurred to me that i should probably report it. It’s a visual bug involving cables. Everytime I create a connection or drag the cable around, everything gets “scrubbed”, like a whiteboard. Tooltips are disabled.
Any idea what could be causing this or if it’s fixable? I got used to it, but it’s a nuissance.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I got the same issues in LM 21.2
Previously I experienced them also in other distros with various hardware.
I wish this issue could be addressed and hopefully solved

Dear All,
Yes sorry about that. I am aware of this bug. It is there since the linux portage and is not related to any distrib. It happens on all distribs. This happens particularly when there is a scrolled patch. Working on it.
In the not yet available om version 8, this is fixed, since it uses GTK3.
So not sure if it is a LW/GTK2 related issue or OM api’s problem in transient-drawing.
Will keep you posted.

Dear friends,
Here is a fast fix still to be tested .
If you can test it and report back whatever you find not working
tempfix1.lisp (1.7 KB)
(the file is to be put in the init folder inside OM)
Thank you in advance.

PS: By the way there is another ugly bug, concerning the miniviews refreshment issue.
Dear Karim,
I have just moved the file in the cxorrect location, at a first very preliminary test I can observe a general better graphical response. I am on Fedora 32, Gnome 3.36.9 and x11 (no Wayland, I prefer so).
Thank you, ciao
Fabio
Dear K,
This is great! the graphical improvement is noticeable and I haven’t seen glitches 
I got other issues now but maybe not related with this: sometimes the connection points increase their size as if a new connection would be achieved but it doesn’t happen. Maybe there are some pixels that aren’t detecting the mouse when clicking or dragging for new connections. Sorry if OT and thanks for the fix. Looking forward for next version!

RC,
Thank you for reporting back.
For the inlets magnification, you can of course deactivate it in the Appearance tab of Om’s preferences. And yet, the chord connection turns blue when it hits the inlet and ready to connect. It might have some flaws here. Please feel free to report again.
Best regards
Karim
