It seems related to the input method, but I haven't figured out.

I found it works if I build from master
v0.14.0.0-110-ge81cb7e (Qt 5.9.5)

To confirm; you downloaded latest release binary and it error'd with GtkIMContext ?

[sanderfoobar]

Do you have a QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE set in your environment?

Oh, the official build could start without such error, but I still can't enable my input method to type Chinese characters in app though.

The error reported in this issue is from my build with tag v0.14, Qt 5.95

Do you have a QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE set in your environment?

Yes, it is QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=adwaita

Also provide all others QT env FYI

QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=adwaita
QT4_IM_MODULE=hime
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3
QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
QT_IM_MODULE=hime

Thanks for the information. Ill see if I can test in a virtual machine at a later point in time.

[Lafudoci]

Thank you @xmrdsc. But I guess if it works fine with master build, then it should be resolved in next release as well?

[sanderfoobar]

Release builds are statically compiled (./build.sh release-static). It will use an embedded Qt. In your case, you most likely compiled with just ./build.sh or ./build.sh debug. This will use your local Qt, that may or may not differ from ours.

In any case ill try out a VM. I take it you installed Qt dependencies via apt ?

[Lafudoci]

Yes, you're right. I built with QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh which is described in readme. And indeed my Qt is from apt.

I found the same issue still appears in master build, but not at launch, instead, it occurs when I click Browse filesystem button in open wallet from file
