Hi list,
After updating my laptop to Debian Stretch recently I've found the UI elements of Pd to be broken: * number and message boxes have a different appearance * toggles and bangs both appear the same (an empty square) and neither gives any response upon clicking (bang doesn't black out, the toggle never receives an 'X') * the lines connecting objects are only visible at 90 or 180 degree angles, anyhing diagonal disappears.
This highly surpsising to me, I've been running Pd 0.47-1 on both OpenBSD and FreeBSD for since its release and haven't run into anything like this. I've also been unable to reproduce on a fresh install of Debian Stretch. I'm pretty sure this is not a bug in Pd but thought the people on the list here might have some ideas as to how to squash it nonetheless.
I've tried apt purgeing puredata and puredata-gui, as well as
re-installing
tk and tcl to no avail.
Any ideas? Or should I file a bug with the Debian maintainers?
Much obliged, toby/

It looks like it is a duplicate of the bug, that I have filed, but unfortunately the maintainers were unable to reproduce: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833974
Hth, Thomas

Interesting, I'm guessing you haven't found a fix/workaround?
Would also be interested in hearing whether others on the list have had this issue. I upgraded another system to Stretch yesterday and couldn't reproduce, so maybe it's been fixed, don't quite understand why it persists on this particular laptop.
Maybe we could compare hardware notes: * Lenovo Thinkpad L412 * i5 processor * Sandy-Bridge Graphics
cheers, t/
