Hello,

We intensivly work with you (great) product on Ms Windows as the main tools for our technicen team @ work...
And I am frequently testing the "linux" version, with somes little things that have not been working perfectly...
But I would like to ask if you already came accros some solutions for my main problem, making the experiment un-usable.

I am currently testing on a laptop, I5, 16Gig of ram and embeted graph card, a "simple" old laptop.

I have a "fresh" Ubuntu 26.04 install, standard, so, using Wayland with Gnome.

One of the first thing I tried is RDM... but then, I can see 2 mains problems:

The scaline factor on menu looks weird (I set up my display to be 100%, not 125%) and when the mouse quits the main central windows and goes to menus or Navigation pane, It get "bigger"... When I try to change the scale factor of the component in the RDM settings: mouse does not behave correctly, and menus goes REALLY small.
Second problem, that might be linked... if that for almost all editing/opening entry, etc, I get a "close / Wait more" pop up showing..... clicking in "wai" will finally make it work.... but I made the experience un-usable.

(In a recent other test, it seems that on a KUbuntu, experience is much better, but i'll have to stick on GNOME)

Is that kind of thing having already been reported....

Would you have some tunning for me to try?

Have you any interest in my problems... and would you like to see: have a look, or check those things?

Thanks in advanced, and have, the whole team, a nice day

PS: Thanks for your work!

Might be nautghy, and I might be sure to complet this before:

First of all, dependancies.

  • glibc 2.27
  • libwebkit2gtk-4.0
  • ca-certificates
  • libsecret-1-0
  • gnome-keyring

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this matter.

The two issues you are experiencing may be related to limitations in how RDM interacts with Wayland on GNOME.

As a workaround, could you please try forcing RDM to run through XWayland instead of Wayland?
You can set this permanently by editing RDM's .desktop launcher and adding GDK_BACKEND=x11 to the Exec= line.

Additionally, please ensure that your system dependencies are up to date. The libwebkit2gtk-4.0 package is outdated; the current version of RDM requires libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0.

Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue.

Best regards,

Tommy Sanders

Hello,Thanks for the reply: adding the GDK_BACKEND=x11 seems to do the trick for the graphic thing.

But still have these kind of messages...


Then I closed it, relaunched, and it seems much better so far....
Will I have to modify the launcher in the futur or are there plan to have modifications?

Thanks for the feedback.
