FIXED!! I unset QT_SCALE_FACTOR and everything works fine now

having issues with #lmms rendering on #NixOS

by rendering i mean the graphical interface has some strange issues and looks odd, the issues also happen with the appimage

like the playhead will have repeating copies of itself, subwindows will leave artifacts, etc.

anyone happen to know why this is? i didn't have this issue on void linux and everything else was basically the same

@callyral what's your compositor ?

@callyral my only idea atm is that it's defaulting to the X11 which niri wraps automagically now i think

if not that, and you have nvidia, try forcing the full composition pipeline

@crow i got it running under wayland or xwayland and either way it looks odd (odd scaling, even though i don't have fractional scaling, and the other issues), i have AMD

im not sure why this is happening as i had the same config in Void Linux and same LMMS version (1.2.2) and it looked fine...

i'll look for a solution, functionally LMMS is fine though, just weird visual bugs. i couldn't find this on the LMMS issue tracker either so i imagine it's a niche issue

@callyral fingers crossed for a quick patch

@crow The solution was unsetting QT_SCALE_FACTOR (environment variable) in case you're curious.
Apparently it's an issue that affects other Qt 5 apps - I'm not even sure why I had it set in the first place.
