[Paraview] Optimus and Windows 10

[Jonathan Borduas]

Was the laptop running with the intel gpu ? If so, it might be related to an Intel driver bug that was reported on the QT and Intel websites.

Hi,

In our paraview course two weeks ago we had a student that had trouble
running Paraview 5.4.1 (official windows 64-bit binaries) under windows
10. The symptoms were that the main menu bar was invisible and that the
mouse cursor did not match up with the position of the click event,
making it very hard to do anything. It seemed the menu bar somehow had
shifted under the window title bar, causing the misalignment.

As this laptop was an optimus system we figured it might have something
to do with that. After some fiddling we found that right-clicking on
paraview.exe and picking Run with graphics processor -> High-performance
NVIDIA processor solved the problem.

Is this a known issue?

Regards,
Paul
