Description: I just re-installed Arch, so everything's fresh (was having the problem before, too). Here's the output:

Additional info:
* package version 2.68, if I downgrade to 2.65 it starts fine.


Steps to reproduce:
run calibre or calibre-debug -g

This looks very wrong. Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I don't know if it matters, but my log is found in ~/.local/share/xorg

I have a fresh install too, and am able to reproduce this with community/calibre 2.72.0-1. I've been able to work around it by setting the environment variable QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=1 prior to running calibre.

Does this happen to be on Gnome/Wayland?

The device pixel ration didn't fix it for me.

I'm using Openbox.

I'm using X.Org X Server 1.18.4, xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+730+gdad64e9-1, and StumpWM. I'm sucessfully invoking calibre with "QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 calibre", and can reproduce the problem by invoking calibre without setting the variable. Calibre succeeded with QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=1 as well, but I have since discovered that QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO is deprecated.

"QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 calibre" worked for me too.
