Help

Hi !
Since latest update, the message content viewer window is … black. Impossible to read email content.
I tried various settings, including changing colors, KDE themes, etc, : no success at all !

Any idea ?

Check if you are using Qt 6.9

You might be running into QTBUG-135786

Ah, yes, I am. But Nvidia, not AMD.

Seems to also affect Nvidia systems

Issue still there : unable to read messages in KMAIL /Qt 6.9…
Tumbleweed, all latest updates applied.

That is to be expected.

This will either require a Qt6.9.1 release, assuming this has the fix, the distribution to apply the fix to their Qt6.9.0 or distributions to release packages built against latest 6.8

All of that is out of KDE’s hands.

Users have reported to be able to work around the bug by setting certain environment variables before launching affected applications.

See the thread linked in the comment before.

Also reported elsewhere is that

QTWEBENGINE_FORCE_USE_GBM=0

works as well
