Re: How to get Sweet Home 3D working on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? On Mint 17.3 it installs fine from the package repository and also the downloadable file unpacks and runs fine (though isn't installed properly). The GUI looks a tad poor though, mainly the fonts aren't slick on menus and the furniture menus on left have odd shading behind the words. Worse, if you maximize the window (which I do) then the menus go oddball. That is, you can click on the File menu for example but let go of the mouse button and the menu disappears. So I have to hold the mouse button down and then drag down the menu. When I do that the menu selection highlighting lags behind the mouse pointer, about 3 lines above it. Totally weird and not real usable. Turns out if I don't maximize the window but resize it manually as large as I can, I get same aberrant behaviour. What it reminds me of deeply is X screen scaling issues with multiple monitors. I wrote a config utility so I could use a tablet with Mint because of this very reminiscent reason. It's here out of interest: https://github.com/bernd-wechner/tablet-config and as it happens I have a monitor above the one I'm using (conceptually, in practice not, as it's not on - as it happens it's a projector, but positioned above this screen in the X screen space) and this sort of lag is what happens with a table pen when it's beside the screen - only in the left-right sense - because the pen coordinates are in X monitor space and mapped into X screen space ... aaargh. xrandr can fix that. But this appears to be a stock standard Java application and loads of those run just fine on Mint 17.3 and my machine so really it points to some coding glitch IMO. |
