Broken UI on second start in windowed mode

[rumen]

Once you start Stellarium with fullscreen = false it starts okay for the first time, but the next time you start it in the same X session the UI is broken. Please see the screenshot.
To fix this one has to maximize the window or go to full screen. Then when you return to a not maximized window it is ok until the next start.

[gzotti (georg-zotti)]

I can confirm on Ubuntu 15.04 (jessie/sid) on an Intel NUC (OpenGL 3.0)
Driver version string: Mesa 10.5.9
GL vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center
GL renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)

Any manual resize of the window will fix it. Programmatic resizes at program start don't appear to fix it. (Or I have not found the right place.)

Rumen, what OS version do you have? And do you run Unity desktop or some other?

[Tanmoy Saha (t4saha)]

Ubuntu 16.04 unity also have this problem. I run stellarium in mesa mode.

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

Same problem with Stellarium 0.15.1 on Ubuntu 17.04 unity
note, if this may help: the sky image on top-left of the window is 640z480

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

I attach log.txt as you ask, but in the meantime I changed config, so I will attach this also
note: config and log from Stellarium 0.15.1 on Ubuntu 17.04 unity

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

... also new config.ini

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Could you install apitrace util and get a trace for OpenGL API usage by Stellarium?

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

installed apitrace, but i have no idea as to use it!

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

please try run: apitrace trace --api gl stellarium

Hint: https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace/blob/master/docs/USAGE.markdown

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

done. now i attach the log, but now i have a big stellarium.trace - 170 MB. i don't know if it is to big.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Please try archive the trace file and attach it here.

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

try to send stellarium.trace ..

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

I realized that changing config to have a less cluttered sky the trace is much smaller, so i will send the new config.ini, log.txt and stellarium.1.trace
thanks for your work on this fantastic software!

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

new log.txt

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

new smaller trace

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

I've done some more test hoping to ease Your work.
Between frame 95 and frame 96 i did a small manual resize of the window so restoring the correct behavior.
I added also two screenshot from a similar test (before and aftre resize).

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Please try add/change in section [projection] of config.ini file two parameters:
viewport_width = 1024
viewport_height = 768

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

done ... no change

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

If I set the initial size to 345x894 or 1185x460 the sky fills the window at start.
Attached the config, log, apitrace and screenshot of both test.

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

At the first start the window is correctly filled, but the next time the sky does not fill the window. May be the two traces can help?

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

I'm now using Stellarium 0.15.2 on Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) with Desktop Gnome 3.24.1 and the problem has disappeared. Thanks a lot.

[gzotti (georg-zotti)]

I also can no longer confirm the problem. Both V0.16.1 from Stellarium's ppa and built from trunk do not show the issue on the Intel NUC. We can assume that the switch to QOpenGLWidget before 0.15.2, or some change in Intel drivers and/or Unity desktop has solved it.
