Description

This has started happening recently on Linux.

You start MantidPlot and then a gray box appears and in the last few moments when the splash screen is around the actual image pops in.

We can't release like this.

Force a repaint of the splash screen.

Ensures the image is painted promptly and does not wait for the event loop to start. If the ApplicationWindow constructor takes too long then the event loop paint events don't start and the image only gets painted at the end. Refs #10741

Remove the forced 1 second sleep statement from main.

It only holds up startup even and doesn't seem to be required any longer. Refs #10741

This didn't fix it for me. I still get the grey splash screen on Ubuntu 14.10.

comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by Martyn Gigg

@rosswhitfield - What Qt version is on 14.10? Could you add a screenshot? Thanks

I'll open a fresh issue as 14.10 isn't officially supported yet.

comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by Ross Whitfield

Qt version 4.8.6. I believe Fedora 20 is also not fixed, if @peterfpeterson can confirm?

comment:10 Changed 6 years ago by Martyn Gigg

Hmm, 14.04 has 4.8.5 so it is surprising it's different. I'll take a look on a VM.

comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by Ross Whitfield

@sic reported it works with Fedora 20 and Qt 4.8.6. So maybe it's just a problem for my computer, if noone else has reported it.

comment:12 Changed 6 years ago by Pete Peterson

I can try again, but it didn't work on my f20 machine with Qt 4.8.6.

comment:13 Changed 6 years ago by Pete Peterson

Still doesn't work for me

comment:14 Changed 6 years ago by Martyn Gigg

This is odd. Why would it work for @sic but not @peterfpeterson?
