First thing, taking this opportunity to thank all the developers for this excellent program.
Now to the issue, I'd been using Flacon for a few days when suddenly yesterday it started doing this crazy thing. I've been using "Add Folder" to add the .cue and .flac files for a recording to then split to flacs based on the cuefile contents. Works like a charm. Until it did not. Attached are screen shots of what's happening.
- Choose Open Folder and the Select Folder dialog appears (this is the messed up version btw):
- I put the cursor between the two panes and attempt to drag the control to the right to expand the sidebar so I can see more of its contents (trying to see an attached USB drive where the files are, which is at the bottom of the sidebar):
- Any movement of the mouse left or right a single pixel results in this; sometimes the entire sidebar vanishes as do the buttons - it's as if the canvas for the dialog is suddenly much larger than the display "portal" for it (I've really no idea how these things work):
- If I put my cursor on the Select Folder dialog left or right edge and drag, then the sidebar and buttons reappear, but they are as you see in the first image with the sidebar about a third its "normal" width. What I should see is what I do see if I choose the Open Cue/File option (see attached image). That dialog works as expected - I can put the cursor between the two panes, click and drag left/right to expand or contract the sidebar:
So, it's only the Open Folder dialog that does this, and it's only in Flacon that such a dialog is used (Open File looks as expected in other KDE/QT apps as is does in Flacon for the Open Cue/File command).
I don't quite know how to troubleshot this behavior. I can find no flacon-related folder or config file in ~/.config or ~/local and no .flaconrc file in ~/ that I can delete to see if something is awry with such files.
I can, and have been, working despite this, but it's not optimal and I figured someone here should know about this behavior.
