Umm...maybe I don't get it, but FreeCAD uses Qt as the UI engine, it's compiled in FreeCAD.
Are you saying xfce ignores Qt even if a compiled application uses it?

I can't judge that, but I can imagine that it only occurs in connection with the x-surface which qt uses
That was a shrewd guess. I actually use the i3 tiling window manager, not the stock GNOME-based one. I tried switching back to the stock GNOME-vased WM and in that environment the toolbars came up.drmacro wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 2:55 pm I run 0.20 very well on Debian 10 & 11 and UbuntuStudio 20 & 21.
Pop!_OS is an Ubuntu variant with a "custom" GNOME desktop, that appears to be only offered by System76.
(I have two Sys76 laptops...first thing I did was "pop" Pop!_OS and install UbuntuStudio. )
I'd guess it is a desktop manager "feature" that is clashing with Qt...note this is a WAG on my part.
I suppose, but I doubt FreeCAD can do anything about WM issues. (short of users listing workarounds). It's possible that it is a Qt problem, if that is the case, we wait for the good folks at Qt to find a fix...esr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 4:07 pm ...

So this is some recently-introduced problem specifically to do with i3, not present in 0.18.
Is this enough evidence for me to file a bug report under local customs?
"Qt 5.15, long term support (LTS) will only be available to commercial customers"
That would remove at least 90% of the current FreeCAD users. Check the download statistics.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 6:15 pm that would also solve all ms windows and mac os problems at the same time, because freecad would then only run under linux.
I agree with @GeneFC.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 7:23 pm
I can imagine that most of them would then switch to linux, e.g. as a dual boot
Just to be complete on that, it depends how you draw your lines.
