MacVim, installed binary port, but still blinks

2018-10-10 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
It runs, but blinks. There's a workaround: start MacVim, and uncheck Preferences -> Advanced -> Use Core Text renderer Then quit MacVim, and when you start it, it shouldn't blink anymore. I gather that a better fix is pending upstream.

I assume you saw the link to the upstream issue about the core text problem that I put in the ticket. https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/issues/751 Ken > On Oct 10, 2018, at 02:02, Richard L. Hamilton wrote: > > It runs, but blinks. > > There's a workaround: start MacVim, and uncheck Pref

Yes, that's where I saw the workaround. I gather a fix that doesn't need that will be out probably in a few days. > On Oct 10, 2018, at 09:11, Ken Cunningham > wrote: > > I assume you saw the link to the upstream issue about the core text problem > that I put in the ticket. > > https://git

Qt4/KDE4 software under 10.14

Hi, I'm trying to figure out why port:kde4-workspace fails to build on 10.14, with linker errors that suggest that the system clang has a subtle new and incompatible symbol visibility policy. (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57332). Are there known issues with Qt4 and/or KDE4 software on Apple

The Qt4-provided native apps seem to work correctly with no display issues. I have "my usual" ports that use Qt4 mostly working on 10.14: mostly GNU Radio and related. These apps are using PyQt4 as the interface to Qt4. At least in my testing, PyQt4 has some display glitches that make it challen

About the flashing you mention: is that related to the use of raster mode rendering, like KDE4 apps also do?

To me it sounds almost like back when xorg-libXt needed to be linked with a -flat-namespace option if one was going to use openmotif with it. But as I recall, the current version of open motif isn't supposed to need that anymore But it could still be a building or linking issue, something to d

I wonder if the flashing isn't a rendering issue similar to what MacVim is having, where the behavior of a legacy rendering technique changed? > On Oct 10, 2018, at 14:57, Michael Dickens wrote: > > The Qt4-provided native apps seem to work correctly with no display issues. > > I have "my usua

libkdegames doesn't build yet, due to some changes in build procedures apparently; there is a ticket, and hopefully there will shortly be a proper fix. Having said that, with a jury-rigged way around that (not correct, but it works), all the KDE4 games would build. But they have display issues
