Both Report View and also Path > Inspect G-Code display coloured blocks instead of text. In both cases if I copy paste into a text editor it displays correctly. Screenshot attached
I have run with the -l option to generate a log file, attached, but I can't see anything in there to give me a clue.
Any ideas?

Our freecad-daily PPA supports Linux Mint, have you tried that? I don't think it would make a difference.
I would try to rename your .cfg files in .FreeCAD folder.
Beyond that maybe a graphics driver issue?

EDIT: see here https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 54#p227269 your Mint version is based on Ubuntu 18.04

Great! Any reason you don't use the PPA? You will get automatic, delta updates, maybe save some bandwidth.

Celebrating too soon, its not fixed.

If I delete user.cfg and restart FC it is fine, but if I go to Edit > Preferences, even just clicking Apply without changing anything causes the problem again. Just ran it again to generate a log file which is attached, but I cannot see anything relevant.

Any ideas?

re PPA, I have it installed but that only gets me version 17, not 18, unless there is some other way to do it?

0.18 is freecad-daily, 0.17 is freecad. They can exist side by side.

Any ideas?

I'll look. Do you experience problems w/ the 0.17 PPA? I mix appimages and freecad-daily and freecad PPA all the time without problems, but?

Not sure if this is normal

Yes exactly the same in 17, as I hit Apply the characters change to blocks

Maybe this is also still in play? EDIT: see here https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 54#p227269
