Window shows black screen upon opening #31

Closed jrusse1 closed 3 years ago

jrusse1 commented 3 years ago

I'm trying to run Geany 1.38 on the new MacBook Pro 14" with M1 Pro and 16 GB RAM. When I open Geany, I can't do anything in the program and the window shows a black screen. This has worked until I installed Xcode and an update for Final Cut. I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates are causing the issue. I uninstalled Xcode to see if there was some weird compatibility issue, uninstalled/reinstalled Geany multiple times, restarted my Mac, and booted into safe mode, but I always got the same results. Any ideas on how to get this to work? Screenshot:

I get the same problem after installing macOS Monterey. I'll try to rebuild with the latest gtk-osx

There seems to be a patch related to macOS 12 that could possibly fix this problem.

Thanks, glad to know this isn't just me. It worked on Monterey for a bit but I think the system update for Final Cut broke it.

Would you try the snapshot from here:

Basically I just rebuilt Geany with the latest version of gtk-osx with all the macOS 12 patches and it seems it fixed the problem at least on my Intel-based macbook.

That fixed it!

Good to hear. I moved the installer to the usual place here:
