Comment 2 Akseli Lahtinen 2025-10-13 09:24:42 UTC
Can't repro, I tried both flatpak and fedora package of ImHex. Only thing that happens is the mouse cursor changes it's look completely, but that seems to be the app taking over the cursor visuals.

Grapgical glitch at cursor

I have an external display with 100% scaling, there I dont see an issue, but on the display with 200% scaling I can reproduce it 1 out of three times.

Recording the video with spectacle does not show the issue, therefore I attached a photo taken from the display

scene/scene: more properly disable damage tracking for ItemTreeView

Seems like just using the aligned rect can still have issues sometimes; the
infiniteRegion() should be safer.
