I can't give you a solution, but I know this issue has already been discussed on the forum. You may search this old thread and hopefully find something there.

EDIT : Xpost with chrisb, and that makes this post totally useless.

I searched in old posts but did not find anything.
BUT:
in FreeCAD_0.19-19093-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage it works fine!

It does not work in AppImage with version FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage

Is it a bug solved in latest AppImage but not in installed version?

[openBrain]

Qt 5.12 has solved a lot of GFX issues compared to previous 5.x versions, so it may explain.

Why does the appimage uses another QT-Version as the installed one?
I like at the installed version, that it is automatically updated by Linux every day (if someone commits something).
Is it possible to use latest version of QT for installed-FreeCad? (on Mint it seems not so easy to update QT on system)

That's the whole idea of an AppImage not to use the system libraries but its own copies so that it will run on every system independent on what's installed there. And yes, that's the downside of an AppImage that its libraries can't be updated automatically.
