Hi,
in a Debian Testing - gnome Classic - running in a VM (VMware Workstation running on Debian Jessie), the settings and about panels are appearing, but always hidden from the terminal panel, and even if I try with the gnome interface to bring it back to front, it fails and always remains on the background, preventing any settings change.

Hi, sorry for the late response. I'm sorry but I can't reproduce the bug nor I've any clue on what's causing it. Can you try other QtQuick.Controls application and let me know if you experience the same issues?

Hi, I'll let you know, but my testing environment is not the most stable one :)

PS : Sei italiano ?

I'm having a similar issue with a Debian Jessie (Testing) running under VirtualBox. The drop-down menus are transparent, as is the settings dialog box. Everything works fine in the same version of Debian running unvirtualized.

Hi,
still the exact same problem on a Testing virtualized. As gjost mentioned, seems to be a virtualization video issue.

PS : there was a small mistake on my first post, but irrelevant, I'm running VMware Workstation on stable (wheezy), not Jessie. The VM is Jessie.

Hello everyone, I've just looked into this. I think this should be fixed in the latest master. Could you please give it a go and let me know if you are still experiencing it?

Unfortunately, I still experience the same behaviour (jessie, git cloned 10 minutes ago). But now, I can manage to move the settings window on another worskpace, and see it, altough I cannot click on any buttons...

I really don't know what to say. This time I'm also calling requestActivate and raise so this is really strange. At this point I believe that the issue is related to Qt or to the window manager. Is the behaviour the same for setting dialog and about dialog (the second one is modal). If the second one works we might try (as a terrible workaround) to make the settings window also modal. Either way I suggest you guys to report the issue upstream to figure out what's wrong.

Mine now no longer shows (or has space for) the menu at all. I have no way to change the colors, etc. My console shows this when launching:

default KB_LAYOUT_DIR: "/root/cool-retro-term/qmltermwidget/QMLTermWidget/kb-layouts"
QObject::connect: No such slot Konsole::TerminalDisplay_QML_55::close()
loadAllColorSchemes
Session::run() - program: "/bin/bash"
Session::run() - arguments: ("")
started!

Thanks!

@servarevitas3 There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the output you are attaching here. My first guess is that you are simply hiding the menubar (Right Click -> Show Menubar). If this doesn't work please try to restore the default settings by launching the terminal with:

cool-retro-term --default-settings

Ciao,
everything works fine with build dated today, with an up to date Jessie.
It works like a charm (and seems much more responsive). That's great :) thanks!!

@LaBonave So the settings/about raise issues are gone? This is great news, I've worked hard on resource consumption, but that was probably fixed by a debian update. I'm really glad you are enjoying it!
