Dialogs show up as white empty squares

Observed behavior

often when a pop-up dialog show up, like “Do you really want to delet xxcx”? or I want to access the settings dialog, the dialog shows up as a white square without any contend showing. Sometimes it just takes a few seconds to show the actual dialog. But often (especially when there is something else happening in the background like indexing of Photos etc.) it can take really long (minutes) or even never shows the dialog.

As a workaround, it helps to just press the tabulator key, and the content shows up instantly.
To me, it kind of looks like as the program is not aware that the dialog is in the foreground, and therefore does not render the actual dialog.

Also, it seems to me that once the dialog has shown up correctly, this is less likely to happen again.

Expected behavior

I would expect the dialogs to show its contend.

PS:

When I want to open the log file with WIN+R and entering %TEMP%\aspect-log.html

I get an error message saying “could not find, please check for spelling errors”

PPS: the 10MB upload limit in this forum is rather small and inconvenient. Could it be bigger?

**
Operating system/Hardware used**

Thinkpad X1 Carbon 9th Gen. Windows 11 all updates and drivers installed.
Aspect Version 1.0.0-rc.43

Interesting, I only ever saw that on Linux and macOS, but Intel GPU drivers have always been problematic. I’ll see if I can reproduce something with the Gen-8 Thinkpad Yoga that I have here.

%TEMP%\aspect-log.html

This should be %TEMP%\aspect-log.sdl - in this case it probably won’t contain any useful information, though.

I’ll increase the upload limit to 25 MB and will see whether there is possibly a plugin for integrating an external upload service for cases where that isn’t sufficient.

well, let me know if (and how) I can provide further information

Oh in this case it might be a good idea to update the “Bug report guidlines” here:

great!

Updated. Thanks, I missed this when searching for the place where this was coming from.

I’ve indeed been able to reproduce this on the Yoga/Windows 11 after a bit of trying, so I can use that to look into a fix.

After implementing a fix, I now can’t reproduce it anymore, so this should be fixed for the next release.
