Application version 4.8.0

Platform Mac. OS 11.1 on new M1 Mac Mini.

Printer CR-10S

Reproduction steps

  1. Load an STL model
  2. Select the model on the build plate and attempt to move or rotate it

Screenshot(s) Screen Shot 2020-12-21 at 3 13 03 PM

Actual results The text that shows the move/rotation is garbled/not legible

Expected results I should get a legible display to assist with move

Project file n/a

Log file n/a

Additional information As noted above, this may have to do with the graphics of the new M1 Macs.

This is an upstream bug in the Qt GUI framework we're using: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-89379 .

It's not really anything we can do anything about until Qt fixes the problem. We can't claim to support Apple M1 at the moment because Qt doesn't support it. Don't expect this to be fixed any time soon. In a few months we'll hopefully have upgraded to Qt 5.15 and if we're lucky Qt will have fixed their bug by that time then.

So we're using Qt 5.15 now, and the aforementioned QTBUG has been closed. Is this issue fixed? If not, what should we do about it?

This is happening to me on Macos since Mavericks I believe.

Cura v4.12.1

Currently I'm on Big Sur and the issue remains.

It seems a bugfix has been merged to the following QT versions: 6.2 6.1 5.15 5.12.

This is still happening to us on a Intel chip (not a M1) but only on Big Sur OS.
