Fix gray splash screen on Linux #100
Conversation
Ensures the image is painted promptly and does not wait for the event loop to start. If the ApplicationWindow constructor takes too long then the event loop paint events don't start and the image only gets painted at the end. Refs #10741
It only holds up startup even and doesn't seem to be required any longer. Refs #10741
…inux Fix gray splash screen on Linux
This didn't fix it for me. I still get the grey splash screen on Ubuntu 14.10. |
@rosswhitfield - What Qt version is on 14.10? Could you add a screenshot? Thanks I'll open a fresh issue as 14.10 isn't officially supported yet. |
Qt version 4.8.6. I believe Fedora 20 is also not fixed, if @peterfpeterson can confirm? |
Hmm, 14.04 has 4.8.5 so it is surprising it's different. I'll take a look on a VM. |
@sic reported it works with Fedora 20 and Qt 4.8.6. So maybe it's just a problem for my computer, if noone else has reported it. |
I can try again, but it didn't work on my f20 machine with Qt 4.8.6. |
Still doesn't work for me |
This is odd. Why would it work for @sic but not @peterfpeterson? |
Works for me on Ubuntu 14.10 |
Fixes trac issue #10741
Tester: Build and then start MantidPlot. You should now see the splash image for the whole duration of loading rather than a gray box and then the image popping up at the end of loading.
