Discover freezes upon start in 0826 and 0827 with scaled fonts

Help

Discover doesn’t respond after opening on 20260826 and 20260827, but not in 20260818 or 20260727. The window does pop up, the application also shows in the system monitor, yet it doesn’t load icons and it has a constant 12,4% CPU load in the system monitor.

I use a custom font so I suspected that might be the reason, when I reset the fonts back to normal, discover would start normally.

I tested it with a custom sans-serif (apfel grotezk), serif (vollkorn), and mono (necto mono) font, I also tested with the scaled up default font (noto sans).

Discover started without freezing with apfel grotezk 10pt, necto mono 10pt, and noto sans 10pt; It did not start when using vollkorn 10pt.

Fonts larger than 10pt caused discover to freeze upon startup (I tested 11pt on all, 12pt and 13pt on noto sans). Fonts smaller than 10pt did not cause issue (I tested 9pt noto sans and 9pt vollkorn).

The freezing happend when opening via konsole and when opening via the shortcut.

I made a bug report on this, but I decided to post it here as well just in case other users might be having the same problem

The same problem on the same builds without any custom fonts.

PS. Noto Sans 9 pt works (but not every time), Noto Sans 10 pt does not at all.

Probably fixed in the latest build (202609021142), can you check with your settings?

I can confirm it worked
