Screen or canvas not updated for Inkscape on Debian bookworm and XFCE
I encounter a problem with Inkscape on Debian bookworm with XFCE and X11.
I ask my question here because I suspect that the problem might be linked to something else than Inkscape (compositor maybe?).
It is illustrated in this screen capture.
- I draw a rectangle → everything fine
- I Select the text tool, click on the canvas and type some text →
nothing displayed / normally the letters should have appeared on
the canvas - Click and drag to create a text box, write some text → nothing
displayed / same expectations - I open the text options → the text previously typed in 2 and 3 is now
displayed on canvas - Click and write some more text → again, the canvas is not updated
- click on the separator between canvas and options (as if to resize
the options box) → the text typed in step 5 appears on the canvas - Close the options → the canvas is not updated, the pixels of the
options box remain displayed, although the box is no longer “there”.
My understanding so far is that the problem is with how the screen is (not) updated. The bug is especially obvious in step 7. I couldn’t find a bug report describing this problem for Inkscape, therefore I think that it is linked to something in my configuration. Where could I start looking ? Could it be something related to X11 vs Wayland ?
