Apologies for the extremely technical term to describe the issue in the title, but I’m not sure how else to describe this. Upon first installing I got the below, which is weird enough as it is!
Additionally the minimize, maximize, and close buttons in the title bar didn’t work, and I couldn’t drag the window around. I’ve since followed the instructions in ./010editor - install hangs on Fedora Linux - #4 by wido to force the application to run in X11 and that’s helped some, but the title bar still doesn’t function correctly, and using the win+udlr keys to move the window around a bit, I experience further glitchiness with the window (blank areas) that goes away once I mouse over regions.
I also note the following errors in the terminal:
aeongen@fedora:~/010editor$ ./010editor
xkbcommon: ERROR: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose:1661:1: unrecognized keysym "dead_hamza" on left-hand side
xkbcommon: ERROR: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose:1662:1: unrecognized keysym "dead_hamza" on left-hand side

xkbcommon: ERROR: /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose:1665:1: unrecognized keysym "dead_hamza" on left-hand side
This is… usable, but it’s far from an ideal experience. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
Attaching an image of the blank region, which happened after using keyboard shortcuts to move the window to the lower right corner of my desktop, then the win+up shortcut to make it take up the entire right half of the screen:
Edit: As a note, I’m getting flickering in i.e. the file menu as well.
I edited the 010editor.desktop file and have set the Exec line to the following:
Exec=env GDK_BACKEND=x11 env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /home/aeongen/010editor/010editor %f
This gets me functional maximize/minimize/exit buttons in the title bar, but only if I launch it from KDE’s start menu equivalent; if I launch it from the terminal or through right-clicking a file and selecting Open With, the buttons don’t work. And I still get the blank regions when moving and resizing the window via keyboard shortcuts.
For what it’s worth, I’m running this on an AMD laptop (ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 AMD, Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U.)
Edit 2: I’ve actually tried switching my session to Plasma (X11) entirely and I still have the above glitchy behavior.
010 Editor on Linux supports Wayland and xcb but there are some rendering issues on Wayland on some systems. Using xcb is often better rendering if your system supports it. If you want to use xcb on the command line, you can either setup a global environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb or use a short wrapper script like:
#!/bin/sh
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
exec /opt/010editor/010editor "$@"
For the refresh problem using Win+udlr, could you check if this update has any effect:

That does seem like it helps! Thanks!
