Randomly, I have OO instances that are no longer displayable:
I don’t know if there is something wrong with the file
Good news is that I still can save the file before reopening it (the save dialogue-box is well displayed).
Unfortunatly, no it’s a random phenomenon.
My guess is that it is related to changes in display resolution.
I mean, during the day, I often plug my laptop to a videoprojector, or plug it to an external screen, or use it without external display.
But this one is less bothering as changing the zoom level “refresh” the window content.
Note that it has to be done in the left part and in the right part of the screen.
Note also that this issue is in the also in the word processor and in the spreadsheet editor.
Thank you, @arcqus
We will try to reproduce the issue, but at the moment, we have too little information to reproduce it.
We don’t even have a clear understanding of what the error looks like to attempt to reproduce.
Unfortunalty, I cannot give you more specific information than the screenshots.
Could there be any useful info in the logs ? If so, I could start OO with the console always on and send you the logs when the glitch occurs ?
Note that there is a different scaling setting btw both (100% vs 125%).
Noticing this difference, I ran a test:
open a file / external screen unplugged
plugging in the external screen
=> As you can see on the video, there is the issue, all OO windows become “blank”.
When unplugging the screen, everything is back to normal.
=> I assume there might be an issue related to the screen scaling change.
Note that the issue adds nothing in the logs of the console.
When attempting to reproduce, we consistently encounter a playback scenario issue.
There are several assumptions pointing to the possibility of outdated video kernel drivers on your system. However, it seems likely that you have already verified this option.
Let’s say I trust the dell update tool, and December the 5th, it said nothing new under the sun for me
I’m also longing for audio drivers…
Not very satisfied with my laptop’s reliability…
