But right now, selection-wise, they are two separate objects. We are forced to either use Gnome's ridiculously limited double scale, which defeats the purpose of having 4k, or increasing the font DPI in Cinnamon. Unfortunately LM is not fully HiDPI compatible due to there being no way to scale icon...

Run your mouse over a folder and you'll see that there is a tiny gap between the folder icon and the name of the folder. Clicking while in this gap will not select the folder. I'm used to folder icons+text being treated as one big lump that you can click anywhere on to select, and assume most users ...

Great to hear, thanks! It will be nice not to have to tell users to avoid using certain effects settings due to incompatibility with certain app windows!

The fix rolled out to 19.3 a couple of days ago - it's in muffin 4.4.2.

Confirmed that it's fixed now, thanks!

The underlying cause has been fixed in master, but the fix just missed release of the 19.3 stable ISO. I suspect a post Christmas maintenance update to 19.3 will put this problem to bed. Great to hear, thanks! It will be nice not to have to tell users to avoid using certain effects settings due to ...

Workaround found! Please see the edited first post for the info, but basically the solution is either enabling IPv6 in the router, or disabling IPv6 completely in Linux Mint via GRUB or sysctl. That means the actual problem is still there, and the older networking stack in Linux Mint 19 is still cau...

Try installing latest kernel of 5.3 series from update manager--view--kernels. Reboot and test. Already did that, doesn't help, but thanks for the suggestion. It seems to be something else in the older networking stack of Ubuntu 18.04 is having problems with this router. Tried the vanilla 4.15 kern...

WORKAROUND FOUND: It looks like the hang is due to older Linux network stacks trying to connect on IPv6 first, then timing out after ~15 seconds and moving to IPv4 which works. Newer distros don't have this issue. This Netgear router has IPv6 disabled by default. There are two workarounds for this ...

The popup message is 'Disconnected - you are now offline' - with a Wifi logo appearing in the popup I've tried to reproduce notifications when screen locked causing an issue and haven't been able to.... :roll: I've never had this happen due to notification popups that I know of, only Thunderbird ca...

I'm running Mint 19.2 and what I've discovered so far is that this seems to happen when Thunderbird pops up a calendar event notification window behind the lock screen. When that happens, the lock screen appears unresponsive and only shows the first star or no stars when typing in the password, but ...

Nice bug report, thanks!

I wonder if they'll push out a fix for them in 19.2 or wait for 19.3.

Found a second bug with Effects. In System Settings > Themes, you click on any of the five sections and a window pops up with the available options normally. But, in System Settings > Effects you change "Effects style" to "Fly down, up", it will make it so the window that pops up in Themes immediate...

I get the same as you so I'll update the bug report. I've tried to narrow down by enabling the Customise option, and tweaking various options, but can't seem to narrow it down to one specific setting. Recreating Scale as Cinnamon does fix the issue though. So you mean even when setting custom setti...

No worries, that's helpful info. Anything that can help narrow down the common factor will help refine the bug report and make it easy for the devs to reproduce and hopefully fix. Yes, that's my intention. If there are any other ways I can help, let me know, and thanks so much for helping with this...

In Cinnamon open the Effects GUI. Try either disabling Windows effects or switching Effects Style from Cinnamon to another choice. For example i can't reproduce the issue with the Effects style set to Scale. Thanks smurphos! I can confirm that all of the "Effects style" options fix this bug for me ...

Thanks! I'd post there but I cancelled my Github account due to the Microsoft acquisition.

So far I've confirmed this problem happens with both the closed source NVIDIA driver as well as open source Mesa for AMD on completely different computers. Problem started after upgrading to Mint 19.2. Anyone else seeing a line of pixels from the desktop background along the right and bottom edges, ...

KaOS Linux and Mageia 7 have options to boot the live usb in nvidia non-free mode. but you will never see bleeding edge software in ubuntu. if you don't see it in ubuntu you will not see it in mint. mint depends way too much on ubuntu But since Mint is based on Ubuntu currently, and because adding ...

Oh and by the way, the top comment in this Reddit thread was the reason I came back here to update this thread. Fairly big discussion about getting the newest NVIDIA drivers and confusion around that for newbies, and how other distros do it better. Might be worth a read. https://www.reddit.com/r/lin...

The Driver Manager already offers these drivers. This is a request to have it offer the newer drivers, that's all. Video driver updates are rather important because they contain updated definitions for what certain objects should like under OpenGL, but that said, the 390 driver is LTS, so it is mai...
