Created attachment 1150262 [details] screenshot Description of problem: I cannot start/stop work with hamster as the buttons to do so seem to be missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hamster-time-tracker-2.0-0.7.rc1.fc23.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start hamster 2. 3. Actual results: No starts/top buttons Expected results: start/stop buttons Additional info:
What desktop do you use? Gnome, Plasma, other?
The default one that fedora installed. Looks like gnome: mszeredi 2485 0.3 3.2 2161016 392900 tty2 SLl+ Apr22 12:36 /usr/bin/gnome-shell
Do other Gnome / Gtk3 applications show all window elements? Maybe your theme installation is somehow f*cked up.
Everything else works fine. This is the default theme. I installed fedora last week and didn't do much tweaking (one thing that I did tweak is "scaling factor" but resetting this doesn't seem to fix the issue).
Can you try in Xfce, to test if it's Gtk3 related? Xfce bases mostly still on Gtk2.
I think this is how the current UI is - there's work being done on porting it all to gtk3, but a new release hasn't yet been made with further improvements. Checkout: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/issues/310
Okay, so this is a half finished port to gtk3. Possible fix is to downgrade to gtk2 version until the port is sufficiently usable?

We can not downgrade to an older gtk2 commit or release. We saw a lot of security issues, that's the reason I updated the package. Raising severity.
(In reply to Miklos Szeredi from comment #7) > Okay, so this is a half finished port to gtk3. Yes. The upstream plan was that time tracking actions should happen in a way which is more integrated with the desktop. There are a couple of shell plugins (IIRC some are also in Fedora) which allow you to start/stop time tracking. However even with a shell plugin the new version does not provide all features of the old one (mostly when it comes to the activity overview/filtering). I'm working on bringing back the old ui (either as a separate plugin or directly integrated upstream) but my time is very limited so there is no ETA). > Possible fix is to downgrade to gtk2 version until the port is sufficiently > usable? At least for individual users, yes. dnf downgrade should work. (In reply to Raphael Groner from comment #8) > Hmm, bad news. We can not downgrade to an older gtk2 commit or release.

More like "hamster would crash for unexpected/broken items in the local sqlite db" which happened sometimes due to bugs in hamster itself.

But we'll obviously run into the same bugs again with new reports, I do not want to confuse users with useless down- and upgrades. That's heavily discouraged and unlikely in Fedora.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
