Hi @Syres and @Kisolre.

thanks again for your attention.

I have tested 3 alternative builds and all are OK - none of them exhibit my reported bug when applying transparency to a primitive cube.
FYI, the versions I tested successfully without the fault were :

* FreeCAD_0.18.16110_LP_11.11_PY2QT4-WinVS2013_x64_portable
* FreeCAD_0.19.17352_x64_LP_11.11_PY2QT4-WinVS2013
* FreeCAD_0.19.17433_x64_LP_12.1.2_PY3QT5-WinVS2015

(NOTE the latter is a PY3QT5 build)

The version that had the bug was installed from the following download :
* FreeCAD-0.18.16117.dbb4cc6-WIN-x64-installer.exe
Obviously this version is not so stable after all !

Glad to be of assistance testing this software !

cheers.

I can't reproduce with
OS: Windows 7
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16117 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-18
Hash: dbb4cc6415bac848a294f03b80f65e888d531742
Python version: 3.6.6
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

I also have a NVideo card

It is interesting that the 0.19.x LP_12.1.2 builds works, it uses QT 5.12, there is also a 0.19.x Conda build that uses that uses QT 5.6.x (the same as the release) Can you test this as well?

I am preparing the 0.18.3 Win binaries as of this posting, but they use QT 5.6.x, I don't think 0.18 was ported to QT 5.12.
This is a very good data point, Thanks for testing!

@sgrogan
no problem.
I only discovered FreeCAD yesterday morning and it seems a very impressive bit of software, but I ran into a problem when trying to follow the beginners' tutorial on YouTube so thought I'd better report it !

If you'd like me to test future builds for this bug, I'd be happy to do so.
My graphics is ATI R7 integrated on AMD "Kaveri" chip.
Obviously this is a few years old now but still going strong & with latest Windows 10 OS

cheers.

Thanks! Your doing it how we prefer it. FreeCAD has a lot of dedicated users/testers to help to triage these bugs, so thanks for doing it here.
Can you test this https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... nVS2015.7z It is a QT5.6 build from the same FreeCAD source that worked for you with a QT5.12 build (This is one of the reasons we provide both)

It would be good if any linux/osx users could test (I think QT 5.9.x)

Hi @sgrogan
I just tried the version you sent me and sadly I have to report it exhibits the bug.
Here is a screenshot after I changed the transparency :

I re-checked the 12.1.12 version and still no problem with that ( I began to doubt myself so thought I should re-check !)

here's a screenshot of that :

My software development days were in the 20th century so I am not overly familiar with Python.
Maybe I should learn some !
but now retired I prefer to play my guitar !

This is great :) On Win QT 5.6 is bad, QT 5.12 is good.
My graphics is ATI R7 integrated on AMD "Kaveri" chip.
Can you post the driver version?
Thanks

Hi @chrisb
there is no code in my post,
only a text capture from the screen of my PC system settings as displayed using the 'Speccy' utility.
I dumped it as @sgrogan requested more info about my PC set-up and I thought he may as well have the lot !
cheers,
