Entire screen turns black

[joshhansen]

Bug Description:
When I run Surge XT 1.3, installed either from the official .deb or compiled and installed from github main, the whole screen turns black, the exception being some individual UI widgets which happen to repaint and thus appear. Mousing over widgets sometimes triggers a repaint and thus makes them visible, but this only lasts so long before everything draws as black again.

Surge XT Version
1.3.0 x86_64
2-bit or 64-bit]

Reproduction Steps:
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run the app.

Wait about 15 seconds.

See the screen turn black.

Mouse over some widgets. They may appear.

Good luck exiting the app! (The x button is still active, if you can find it.)

Expected Behavior:
The app should display fully, without drawing the entire screen black.

Screenshots:

Computer Information (please complete the following!):

• OS: Linux Mint 21.2 x86_64 Cinnamon
• Host: n/a
• Version: 1.3.0

Happy to provide additional information.

Hmm we’ve had a couple of paint glitches since 13 on some linux distros. Some questions

1. did or does 123 work for you (juce 6 vs 7)
2. Are you at 100% or do you have scaling on
3. X Wayland or x11?

I dev Ubuntu with Wayland off and didn’t see any problem so may be a bit tricky to work our

@joshhansen Could you please provide somethe additional context as per Paul's questions? Thanks!

Apologies for the slow response.

1. I'm getting the same issue with 1.2.3
2. Display scaling and font scaling are both at the default (100% and 1.0 respectively)
3. Looks like X11 (Xorg binary is running directly under the display manager)

I was previously able to run lower versions of Surge XT alright - the problem may have begun when I changed my OS to Linux Mint. I can't say that for sure though. I also upgraded my GPU at the same time.

Do any other plugins do this? dexed? vitalium? things like that?
