Pinta 3.x will only display as a Blank White Window on Intel Graphics 4000 architecture due to GTK bug
Description Pinta 3.x will only display as a Blank White Window on Intel Graphics 4000 architecture due to a known GTK bug. Gajim users also report the same issue on GTK4 apps here: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/12372 and GNOME devs say they won't fix it unless somebody submits a patch here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/7283#note_2329698
I am posting this in case anybody else comes across the same issue on this older (but still usable) hardware so they get an answer.
To Reproduce
- Install Pinta 3.x on any machine with Intel Graphics 4000
- See window be completely white, not displaying any info whatsoever.
Additional Info Screenshots will just show a white window anyway
Version Pinta 3.0.4 Windows 11 Intel Graphics 4000

@Pentaphon Does it work properly on the GNU/Linux + Mesa combo? I don't have a GPU of the era to test. Maybe we can recommend users that come to this issue with similar problems to a GNU/Linux distro such as ZorinOS, for example?

Nope. The hardware bug affects every OS. Either the GTK bug gets fixed or users have to buy different hardware.
