Michael himself started a bug report on sourceforge.
Here's what we found:
Michael's words:
"As discovered by Fernando A. Martin, Add Control Ruler to add, for
example, a reverb control ruler does not work in the notation or matrix
editors in Qt5 builds running on KDE 5. Did not determine if this also
happens on other desktops. Qt4 builds running on KDE 5 are not affected by
this bug.
Bug #1542 discusses mostly cosmetic issues arising from running on a KDE
that is built with the same Qt version as Rosegarden. This bug involves
functionality that is completely missing and broken under these conditions."
Fernando Martin's words:
"Hi Michael.
I tried to install XFCE on Manjaro using the graphical package manager
Octopi. (Later I found documentation saying that this proccess should be
done using command line.) The result was a very damaged XFCE desktop,
almost unusable. But at least I was able to activate Whisker menu, launch
Rosegarden and open notation editor. Under XFCE, rulers appeared in
notation editor at very first click.
Now we have at least one thing tested: The bug didn't happen in XFCE, a GTK
based DE. So it seems that the bug is related to QT5 builds running on
KDE5."
If you want to check, it's bug report number #1543.
Thank you for testing too.
