This beta has a minor display problem with the sidebar on Ubuntu 15.04 as shown in the attached image.
Java 1.7.0_80 (64 bit)
Oracle Corporation
SWT v4608, gtk/3.14.13
Linux v3.19.0-33-generic, amd64
V5.7.0.1_B01/4 az3
Boo, I have the same setup:
Java 1.7.0_85 (64 bit)
Oracle Corporation
SWT v4608, gtk/3.14.13
Linux v3.19.0-33-generic, amd64
V5.7.0.1_CVS/4 az3
The java build number shouldn't make a different, nor the _CVS vs _B01.
Does it start out this way, or do the icons disappear after a while? Maybe I'm not fiddling enough with it to break it.
The appearance was broken right from startup.
Hmm ... looks like it was a theme problem. I switched to the default "ambiance" theme and the problem went away. Sorry ... didn't think to try that first. I was using the "
arc" theme when the switch to gtk3 happened.
The only other issue I've encountered since the switch is the inability to use the "Create New Subscription" dialog box. I can't type anything into the search box on either the "Search" or "RSS" tabs.
Other than that, everything seems good. I like the new look.
B02 might change things for the sidebar. I'm not sure though, since it looks the same to me, but I fiddled with the painting :)
B03 will "fix" the subscription dialog. The real textbox is actually under the fake one. I moved it above to you can click and type into it, but it appears I can't remove the border from it on SWT's GTK3 implementation :( You probably already noticed this ugly double border thing on the filter bubbles in Libarary/Files view.
B02 does indeed fix the theme issue.
Yes, I noticed the double-border thing but didn't think much of it. I did also discover that I could tab through the fields and buttons on the search dialog to get to the right place to enter my search term. I couldn't see what I was typing, but it got me what I needed. :)
Thanks for the quick fixes!
