Bug description
Very funny visual bug with the menu. The menu gets smaller every time I turn off the monitor. Every morning when I turn on the monitor the menu turns out to be smaller than it was yesterday. Now the computer's uptime is almost a week and there is practically nothing left of the menu. I'm not sure, it seems to me that this started with version 3.14 and still doesn't go away.
Steps to reproduce
The computer is always on, no hibernation or sleep Turn off the monitor using the button on the case Going to bed Wake up in the morning Turn on the monitor using the button on the case and move the mouse Click on the Nextcloud icon next to the clock Notice that the menu is smaller than yesterday
Expected behavior
The menu does not change its size

Huh, this is really strange...
To me it looked very similar to what happened in #7678 and I've hoped that the root cause of this is the same -- guess that's not the case here.
Just out of curiosity, does this also occur when you add the following configuration entry in your nextcloud.cfg? this will add a standard title bar around the main window instead of being frameless
[General]
showMainDialogAsNormalWindow=true
; ... other config switches ...
(I assume this doesn't happen when the scaling factor is set to 100% on your display, otherwise we already would have had some bug reports about this ;-) ...)
@nilsding with showMainDialogAsNormalWindow=true everything seems to be fine except that the window opens in the center of the screen, not in the corner
the window opens in the center of the screen, not in the corner
that behaviour is expected with this setting enabled.
So basically it only happens when the main dialog is frameless... will try to reproduce it myself, and hopefully find a workaround for that.
@f242 can you try this again with the daily build = 20250304 and showMainDialogAsNormalWindow=false?
I wonder if #7956 will resolve that strange bug for you too (we had to revert that change unfortunately, but it's part of that specific build)
hm, good to know that this wouldn't have solved it either... thanks for checking!
@nilsding
Is it possible that the problem is due to the application using some sort of 3D function of the graphics card? I recently found information about active 3D processes in the graphics card management software and there are both processes that show graphics bugs! And both programmes are not any 3D application, just normal 2D programmes. Is there any way to disable 3D in Nextcloud?
Also, because Nextcloud is defined as a 3D application, its menus display monitoring data that is commonly used in games
The bug hasn't appeared for a long time, so it may have been fixed. I'll reopen it if it suddenly reappears.
