Tilda getting stuck with solid black background color when trying to toggle transparency #372

Closed toorandomenvi closed 5 years ago

toorandomenvi commented 5 years ago

When this happens i get this error : (tilda:4706): Vte-CRITICAL *: 20:34:19.752: void vte_terminal_set_color_background(VteTerminal, const GdkRGBA*): assertion 'valid_color(background)' failed

this problem might also be linked to settings for transparency not being saved when i restart Tilda. If i force the transparency level from 100 to another value and then back it works again until i toggle it again

I have already tried reinstalling Tilda few times with no success

OS: Xubuntu 18.04 (fresh installation)

update: Tried recreating this in VM (OS: Mint 19 XFCE, Xubuntu 18.04) and on Kubuntu 18.04 and the problem persisted across all of them thankfully managed to fix this by manually editing /.config/tilda/config_0

changing lines: transparency=0 Back_alpha=-68

to: transparency=1 Back_alpha=0

this has resolved the problem after saving the settings and restarting Tilda but it would still be nice that i wouldnt have to do this to get transparency toggling working

After restarting my laptop the config was edited back to the wrong value by tilda so a temporary work around is to set the config_0 file to read only after fixing the Back_alpha value

Thanks for reporting this bug, I think I recently fixed a bug concerning negative back_alpha values in the configuration (see commit b504ea0177cd91ed42cc326e684d702ed021e28d).

This should be fixed in the next release.
