Bug#867667: xsane: Preview window empty/unusable

Show all headers | View raw

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] - view raw

I am on Arch Linux but affected by the very same issue. There is another
workaround that worked for me:
running with --sync (i. e. xsane --sync)

Looks like the preview window gets created on each startup and then later -
corresponding to settings -
either it's left as is or hidden. Maybe if it's happening too fast (w/o
sync) this leads to corruption.

Quick and dirty semi-solution (certainly not ideal but al least working
100%) is to discard the hiding part (that is:
ignore the setting at startup):

   xsane_define_maximum_output_size(); /* draw maximum output frame in
preview window if necessary */

I do hope someone knowledgeable steps in and prepare a proper fix.

BR, jose
