Description of problem: Please see referenced mythtv ticket. I have had exactly the same issue since latest QT update. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Setup/General screen 2. 3. Issue has been resolved with a patch. I have rebuilt the source RPM with the patch applied and verified that the issue has been fixed. I haven't done an exhaustive test, but the functions I use most does not seem to have suffered any bad side effects.

Thank you for the warning, the pointer and for having tested the fix. Yet... This is curious. The referenced mythtv ticket says: ======================================== Qt 5.14 : GUI displays a white rectangle Since the upgrade to qt5-5.14, my frontend has displayed a big white rectangle covering the top 3/4 of the myth window ... Downgrading qt back to 5.13 resolves the issue. ========= Our current released Mageia 7 Qt5 is version 5.12.6 (although Cauldron is at 5.14.1). Is the bug actually for Cauldron rather than M7? Before assigning this, CC'ing for info DavidG who nurses mythtv.

Yes, I noticed that, but I definitely has the described issue on 2 separate boxes with fully updated Mageia 7 installations (maybe triggered by a back-ported QT change ?). Test of the patch was performed on one of these systems. The issue is rather annoying as it renders many of the Setup sub-menues practically unusable.

This matters. Please confirm what version of Qt5 you really have. Do: $ rpm -qa | grep qt5 This will list a lot of pkgs, not all with the same version number. But one version number will be predominant (here, 5.12.6). What do you have? > The issue is rather annoying as it renders many of the Setup sub-menues > practically unusable. No doubting the severity of the problem. Mythtv will get patched in Cauldron for latest Qt5. We have other mythtv users who are not [yet] complaining about this.

Maybe QT version isn't the only condition for this issue to manifest itself.
@Arne > It is more than 2 months since QT was updated to 5.12.6. Maybe QT version > isn't the only condition for this issue to manifest itself. This is disconcerting. You said originally "since latest QT update", then "It is more than 2 months since QT was updated". Did you really have the problem 2 months before reporting it? If the problem arose more recently, and you can say exactly when it appeared, the following command might help to pinpoint another guilty update: $ rpm -qa --latest | less which shows all pkgs in the system with their dates, most recent first. BTAIM If & when the M7 mythtv gets updated with the patch, please can *you* test the update. Other people who do not have the problem cannot. --- Mythtv has no current registered maintainer, so assigning this globally. DavidG is already CC'd (most recent committer). A patch is available, known to be effective (URL & comment 0).

Other people who do not have the problem cannot. I can easily install a test version and verify that the white box is gone and that there are no regressions for the part of mythtv, that I regularly use. The question is what is required in terms of further regression testing? Since I have fixed my own systems, I guess severity/priority could be reduced until others report being affected. Maybe the reference to version 5.14 should be removed from the bug tittle?

Yeah, I had the same problem. I researched it and found a woraround to just reduce the size of the white box in a base.mxl file. No idea how many users have applied the workaround.

Having re-installed mga7. I had to run down the file I changed. file changed: /usr/share/mythtv/themes/default-wide/base.xml changed <browserarea>0,0,100%-16,100%-16</browserarea> to <browserarea>10,10,10%-16,10%-16</browserarea> Reference url used in research https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=3505 indicates it may be theme dependent because those used did not fix my problem.
Please test the upcoming mythtv-30.0-20200418.1.mga7 in Core/Updates_testing repo! If it fixes the issue I'll submit it also in Tainted repo.
(In reply to David GEIGER from comment #10) > Please test the upcoming mythtv-30.0-20200418.1.mga7 in Core/Updates_testing > repo! Yikes, unable to enable test media for updates via mcc. Had to use drakrpm-edit-media --expert Then wound up new rpm pkg to boot. Did the myth upgrade/install. Unable to recreate the white screen problem and my workaround of resizing to a little 10x10 white box is no longer visible. > If it fixes the issue I'll submit it also in Tainted repo. Issue is resolved using mythtv frontend. Basic navigation, play a recording and view live tv worked for me. In other words a very basic go/no go test. No testing by browser or direct mythtv booting done.
Assigning to QA, Advisory: ======================== Since latest Qt5 stack updated to 5.12.6 a regression was found in mythtv. So this update fixes a bug when using Qt5.14 and/or Qt5.12.6 where an empty browser window sometimes appears over the GUI.
