[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Black box when starting parvaview

Fri Jun 16 15:25:37 EDT 2017

OK, this has been replicated twice, once at Kitware.  I believe there may be two issues going on, thus wrote up two bugs – and a master bug.  Numerous developers are on vacation – Utkarsh is back next week, I believe.  We will see what they say at that point.

Master bug: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17521
Black box, lower left, replicated is here: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17523

And why I have been poking it.  :-)

I now have a user that has replicated it.  I will write up a bug, including the fact that you can see it.

Thanks Ken!

I have seen this with ParaView 5.4 on one of my 3-4 year old laptops. I have to turn off the nvidia chip so I am using the Intel GPU to see the issue. For me it impacts all rendering, not just volumes as some have reported. As soon as I startup PV 5.4 I get the black box in the corner where the axis actor is positioned.

I just realized Cory and Utkarsh are both on vacation which is probably why this issue has been a bit quite on the Kitware side.

Has anyone at Kitware seen this issue?

On a Windows box, just open ParaView.  There will be a black window lower left side of the 3d view.

Disabling the FXAA antialiasing on 3D geometry ( Menu Edit->Settings->Render View->disable "Use FXAA" ) has fixed my "black box" issue.

For others that have the same issue, was the solution using 5.3 or building against Qt4 for you?

I have seen this on one of my intel GPU systems as well. I think it is a known issue we are having with the new Qt version and those systems specific to Windows.  I would bet the prior version of ParaView (5.3?) will work. Probably if you built the 5.4 version of ParaView against Qt4 it would work as well.

Only thing I can think of is to blow away your configuration files.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Black box when starting parvaview

When I open Paraview 5.4.0 amd64 win10, I see the following black box on the screen. The box was not originally there and expands to the entire screen when data is loaded. Because the coordinate arrows should be there, I believe this has something to do with rendering. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, to no avail. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.
