I'm having a display problem... using Fedora 34 and FreeCad 0.19.
It looks like a large white rectangle is attached to the viewport.
Have a look at the attached image. I have the background set to "simple colour".
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Display problem using Linux Fedora
After all, what I have read here and my own experience are ubuntu systems such as e.g. xubuntu best suited for freecad.
is that a possibility for you?

Try the following alternative route (if only to test if it's an FC or Linux distribution problem):
- from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... kly-builds download the standalone distribution (it does not need installation and has all the dependencies and libraries inside) FreeCAD_weekly-builds-25288- Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage;
- in your home create a folder with the name of the distribution (eg FreeCad_020) and place the downloaded file there, click with the right mouse button and open the properties, give the execution permissions.
- Start FreeCad (* .AppImage) with a double click;
- if everything works, download a FreeCad icon, insert it in the folder (FreeCad_020) of your home, create the shortcut on the desktop specifying the application icon and the path.

Ok that worked... thanks for your help... probably a missing or incorrect library... thanks again - wawa3Ddomad wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 12:24 pm Greetings to the Community!
