Messy interface in Arch Linux

Post by alkkem »

Hi everyone!
I recently performed a clean installation of Arch Linux in my PC, and I wanted to use qBT. However, the interface is super messy, rows are cut randomly, alignment is random, and it's impossible to read anything :'( I cannot even see Accept/Apply/Cancel buttons...
I don't know if this is being fixed or something, or if there's any information about it... I know sometimes Arch Linux is not very good for these things (debian-based distributions are much more supported), but if any of you has come across a similar (or the same) problem and could give some help, it would be much appreciated.

I attach with this post some screenshots (I think the images speak by themselves) in order to illustrute the issue.

Thanks beforehand to you all :)

If you are using the proprietary nvidia drivers, that is the problem. Switch to the open source nvidia drivers and this problem is fixed.

I'm using AMD and still get this problem. Anyone else with AMD? (Ryzen 5 2400G)

I had this on FreeBSD with Fluxbox, but I found it went away under xfce.

No need to start changing drivers and desktop environments just yet, I found out that this qt bug has already been posted https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/12441 hopefully there will be a permenant fix soon in the meantime, use this command when running qbittorrent: "export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 && qbittorrent"
