Problems with flickering and other issues on Linux (Debian) - workaround #846

Closed Phillipus closed 1 year ago

Phillipus commented 2 years ago

There may be problems running Archi (and probably Eclipse itself) on some Linux distros, notably Debian.

Here is a workaround. Add the following to the Archi-Ubuntu.sh file that ships with Archi for Linux:

# Prevent interface flicking and cursor disappearance in text fields (Debian 11.3 + Gnome 3.38 + Wayland)
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus

The line export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 may need to be commented out as well.

I'll add this to the Archi-Ubuntu.sh file (which I'll rename to Archi.sh) for the next release.

Thanks to @gxpcluster for raising the problem and supplying the solution.
