Description:

Hello there!
I've been having problems for a year with FreeCAD. It has graphical glitches even in the menu toolbar.
AFAIR in a previous version for around a year, I could get rid of this with disabling the HW acceleration for drawing.
Like:
LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=true LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 freecad
I combined all the switches at the X.org device parameters for my Radeon(AMDGPU) without any success.

But now only the official appimage is working out of box without using any env variables.

Additional info:
* package version: 0.19.3-13
* config: AMD Ryzen5 2400G/2500U, XFCE 4.16
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
* just open FreeCAD

Pretty much the same with the latest 0.19.4-1 package.
I even tried it with an older machine, which is able to run both AMDGPU and Radeon kernel drivers.
No luck at all, so I decided to open a bug report at the FreeCAD forum:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=66862

Thanks for reporting. This might be an upstream issue.

Are you using X or Wayland? If you are using Wayland, could you please try:

export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1

before running FreeCAD, and see if the problem is the same?

I'm using XFCE, so this might not be releavant. Somebody mentioned that maybe Python 3.10 is the root cause of the problem, however I think that has nothing to do with the GUI.

Please check if this is fixed in freecad 0.20 which should appear in [community] shortly.

Unfortunately that's pretty much the same.

Thanks for testing. XFCE and Python 3.10 should both be fine.

The FreeCAD 0.20 package now uses no patches and only upstream code. I think this might be an upstream issue.

Please submit the issue upstream to the FreeCAD developers, or re-open this issue if I should be mistaken. Thanks.

Some guy at the Freecad forum had an idea, and it seems that the custom DPI settings was the problem. I would like to add that here too.
