My colleague on her Linux laptop (her language is Chinese).

It looks like a font issue that the GridSplitter uses a font instead of an image.

Thanks for the report. The GridSplitter control is supposed to be using the FontIcon for rendering this particular content. You may be able to override the default template of this control to ensure that it uses the proper symbols font: "ms-appx:///Uno.Fonts.Fluent/Fonts/uno-fluentui-assets.ttf"

That being said, depending on how the template is made in the community toolkit we may be able to set an automatic override so that it always uses our font instead of falling back to a system font. (/cc @MartinZikmund)

I checked the latest sources and it seems that now the sizer controls are actually rendering a plain Rectangle instead:|

@ArchieCoder are you using the latest Windows Community Toolkit packages?

@MartinZikmund There was nothing in the nuget Update section, but I saw this.

I removed the deprecated nugets and added these, but now the compiler is unhappy.

Related discord discussion with @ArchieCoder to help him migrate to WCT v8 for the other controls while still keeping WCT v7 for DataGrid only: WCT errors

After some gymnastic, I was able to migrate to 8.0. I can confirm that the GridSplitter renders nicely with MacOS. I suppose it will on Linux. Closing the issue. Thanks @MartinZikmund and @agneszitte.
