Can not render popup diaglog sometimes, it show black

Hi All,

I’m using Manjaro KDE for a while, and recently I start to meet this issue, and after restart computer, the issue was gone.
Not only press launch will show black dialog, press right mouse button sometimes also.

do anyone meet this issue, too ?

Thanks

so do you still have the issue, or you dont after you rebooted?

I have the same problem, When I use it for a long time, some programs will go black.


I can temporarily fix this problem after switching with the shortcut key (Alt+Shift+F12)

ok, so create a new test user in system settings, reboot, and log in with the test user, and see if it has also this issue… if not, its some messed up config(s) in your main user, which we will then adress…

Hi Brahma,

OK, it may take some time to make sure if we could reproduce this issue again.
when result is got, will update it.

thanks

Hi Brahma,

I got this issue again, and I switch to another pre-created user, and everything fine.

thanks

so it started to happen again on the new created test user?

Hi brahma,

no, after I use new account for minutes, then I switched back to my account.
And the issue was gone … but it happened again in hours.

I start to try something … first I tried to change another global theme, and this issue was gone again.

I will try to set KDE setting to default.
how about it ?

thanks

yes it looks like its related to your customization/theme

This issue seems to be temporarily fixed. When this problem occurs I use shortcut keys (Alt+Shift+F12), then everything works fine again
