I get a weird issue when running any part of kicad. All windows create a duplicate “fake” window. They all get an exit, minimize, and maximize button so each window essentially duplicates itself. I have included a screenshot to illustrate the problem:
Again all parts of the software are affected by this. It starts as soon as the software opens and stays the same the whole time I use it. I mean it’s not really breaking the software but it isn’t helping usability.
So what could be causing this bug? I mean I don’t really experience any crashes and the software can work around this no problem? Could it be that my display size is too small? I am using an inexpensive ASUS Vivobook and performance wise its been fine but I just can’t figure out why it’s doing this?
Here are terminal logs when launching from the console.
*** BUG ***
In pixman_region32_init_rect: Invalid rectangle passed
Set a breakpoint on '_pixman_log_error' to debug
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.
Other than the above message there isn’t anything else reported during run time from what I can tell.
