Color Palette Button Causes a Freeze Up
19 November, 2024 - 23:26 — Thomas Henry
Hello,
Before I forget, here's another anomaly I noticed recently. When using Qtractor 1.4.0 (installed from the PPA), if I try to access a color palette button, the entire program freezes (locks up).
Both the color palette buttons in the Track setup menu and in the View/Options/Display menu cause Qtractor to freeze when clicked.
On the other hand, they work properly in the AppImage for 1.4.0-6.1, and also in version 0.9.39 found in Linux Mint's Software Manager.
By the way, my op-system is Linux Mint Xfce 22.

re. Color Palette Button Causes a Freeze Up...
hi, this is an old environmental issue, making its come back now and then, especially on Gtk based desktops.
try switching off the "Use desktop environment native dialogs" in View/Options.../Display/Options, and/or ultimately chose a custom widget "Style theme", any other than "(default)" and avoid "Gtk" at all costs! "Fusion" is an all-time favorite here :).
hth. cheers
Other posible solution

I had the same problem.
In my case I found another solution.
I uninstalled a conflicting library, but I forgot which one.
It's a problem between inappropriate combinations of Gtk and Qt libraries, there's no doubt about that.
Thanks for the suggestions
Thanks to both of you for the ideas to try out. It's still acting up, and so I'm just trying to train myself to avoid the palette buttons.
The trade-offs now stand at:
Use the AppImage. Then there is no freeze-up on the palette buttons. On the other hand, then I don't get the advantage of the GUIs for the various cool plugins (like Calf).
Or, use the installed version. Now I get the nice GUIs for plugins, but need to avoid the palette buttons.
Given the choice, the latter seems the better of the two since I'm too much of a Linux novice to know what Gtk even is.
