[SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

I tried looking it up to no success, namely this solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263461
I don't have a dwm.c file to apply that fix to.

'Save-as' and 'open' windows are not showing what they are supposed to. The background is invisible (copying what is behind the window at the time) and when hovering the mouse over it it creates gray lines, see image.

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "GtkFileChooserDialog"
seth over there already wrote:

"Dialogs", not popups.

tongue

Is it only the GTK file chooser or are other toolkits/dialogs affected?
Eg. check gtk3-demo the file dialog for eg. kwrite (since you're apparently running KDE - should be Qt native or a KDE specific Qt dialog)

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

Not sure I follow what you said there. I ran gtk3-demo and everything I looked at there ran as intended.

Here is xprop for firefox, which works as intended, also using GtkFileChooserDialog:

Ok, then what, specifically, /is/ affected?

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

I've only tested a handful applications, Processing and Mullvad browser are the ones I've encountered problems with so far

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

Are you using the precompiled binaries of those?
From your screenshot and the transparent popup menu: do you use a compositor (picom)?
Also that popup menu should not be there anymore - do you get the same broken dialogs when triggering them w/ keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+o, ctrl+shift+s etc)?

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

Yes, I installed the processing-bin package.

From your screenshot and the transparent popup menu: do you use a compositor (picom)?

I don't have picom installed, but I ran:

❯ inxi -Gxx | grep compositor
    compositor: kwin_x11 driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: nvidia

Also that popup menu should not be there anymore - do you get the same broken dialogs when triggering them w/ keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+o, ctrl+shift+s etc)?

Yes I do, doesn't matter if I use a shortcut or not.

I tried installing the non-binary versions of processing and that made the dialogues work properly, however I don't like leaving it like this. This isn't a solution as to why it doesn't work with the binaries, do you have any explanation? I understand if I should mark this as resolved.

Re: [SOLVED] Pop-ups are invisible

See whether it's the glib2 update, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2233341
