Description of problem: On both digikam-7.6.0-1 and also a locally built and installed digikam-7.7.0 installation if I select the settings from the menu then the main window fills with flickering images of the settings window behind the settings window, on closing it these partial overlapping window repaints are filling the main window and cannot be cleared without restarting digikam. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): digikam-7.6.0-1.fc36.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time settings menu is opened Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start digikam 2. Open settings from menu 3. Flickering and partial window overlapping repaints appear in the digikam main window Actual results: Display flickering and incorrect repainting Expected results: It should work as it once did. Additional info: Latest F36 updates have been applied, running on an Intel 9700 8-core CPU under GNOME 42 DE with Intel graphics driver. Updating to a locally built digikam-7.7.0 install does not fix this.
I have tried starting from a clean setup, it makes no difference. Once the fragmented window contents have appeared the window switches back and forth between 2 views that are offset from each other diagonally across the digikam main window. The program is unusable in this condition. Many of the buttons and controls do not appear to receive mouse input and do nothing.
I cannot reproduce this on my own f36 laptop (intel based). Offhand, may be gnome specific (I'm using kde plasma) or some sort of video driver issue.
I have retested this again, digiKam appears to function correctly when using Plasma (Wayland) and GNOME Xorg. The problem behaviour only occurs when using GNOME Wayland. I don't know how to debug this myself, but I can try if anyone can provide advice on how to do it.
Any ideas about this? Don't know which packages might require modification, so far I only see this problem with digikam.
I can reproduce the issue on a freshly installed fedora 36 with digikam 7.7.0 on Gnome. It also suffices to open the import -> cameras menu to reach this state of the main window. I recorded a short video with my mobile phone in order to illustrate the behaviour: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLfzt78i8y6dBqcaJuT21KwdbcincFKi/view?usp=sharing Interestingly this does NOT show in a screen-recording with obs studio which shows a black background where the screen shows the actually spurious window content. I seem to recall having seen myself this issue also with way older Digikam installs on earlier Fedora versions. I don't have this issue with any other application.

I have just built the newly released digikam 7.8.0 source tarball into rpms and installed. The same problem persists, flickering in various windows after opening settings when using GNOME Wayland, but not when using GNOME Xorg. I still don't know how to help debug this, but am willing to do so with some help.
The same condition continues with digikam-7.8.0-1 from the updates-testing repos.
I have doubts this is specific go digikam, possibly some Qt-integration issue with gnome/wayland. That assumes this can be reproduced in some other Qt apps besides digikam though. For those experiencing this, what video hardware/driver are you using?
Hardware is: Intel i7-9700 with Intel H370 chipset with integrated graphics Driver is this: xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-52.20200205.fc36.x86_64 If you need more information please let me know what that is. I don't see any other application behaving this way, but there are a few odd changes with Wayland<->Xorg, mainly to so with default window positions and a few menu-related issues where the cursor doesn't exactly map to the menu selection area. Fedora 37 beta out soon, so another chance to have all this change ;-)
Or not. Now running Fedora 37 beta and I have exactly the same symptoms. So far I have not found another application that behaves this way at all.

Just updated to digikam-7.9.0 and the flickering settings window is still exactly the same when using GNOME Wayland. I genuinely have no idea how to debug it, doesn't happen with any other applications I use.

Thanks a lot! That's a great and easy way to use the testing updates. I just followed the instruction and updated DigiKam with that command. However the result is unchanged: when I open the settings menu and then 'Digikam einrichten' (~setup digikam; last item in the settings menu) the window contents still suffers from the same jitter and becomes basically unusable.

Hello, In order to capture text traces https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true" digikam Also could you guys submit a bug report under https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=digikam as well. I was also looking and testing and so far. I was unable to see flickering on KDE wayland and Gnome workstation wayland as well. Also digikam devs can give better info from trace as well. It will help us as well.

To help others, this problem appears resolved on Fedora 39 using the digikam-8.1.0-3 package. I don't know what the original problem was, but probably in an underlying KDE/Qt library.
