brackets in virtualbox 4.3.6/ubuntu 13.10 shows OpenGL error on start and has display errors

[tomsen-san]

Hi
I installed brackets on Ubuntu 13.10 guest in a virtualbox 4.3.6 with VBoxGuestAdditions installed. 3D acceleration is enabled and works for glxgears (1700 fps).

On first start I get a slew of warnings and errors concerning OpenGL problems.

Also brackets does not draw itself correctly. The window content is always on top even if an overlapping window should be in front. See screen shot

If I close brackets and try to open again, the window becomes quickly greyed out and does not show any content. I have to reboot the VM to get a proper start again.

@tomsen-san Are you able to run Chrome in your VM?

[tomsen-san]

Yes, chromium runs fine. I also installed mesa-utils and can run glxgears without problems.

[peterflynn]

Seems like a duplicate of #6145, albeit with more details

[njx]

Closing as dupe of #6145

[njx]

@azegabriel noted in #7121 that turning off 3D acceleration in the VirtualBox settings seems to have fixed the problem - might be worth trying for folks encountering this bug.

[njx]

@tomsen-san - in #6145 @chrispecoraro mentioned that the latest version of VirtualBox (4.3.12) might fix this. Could you check that and see if it improves things for you?

[tomsen-san]

I tested on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 in virtualbox 4.3.12 with 3D accel on and got some
improvement.
But I almost immediately lost the window decoration the first time I
tried the current brackets, the second time the inner window area is
always in the front. See attached image.

Will test with 3D off tomorrow and report back.

I'm using Unity.

[mikesigs]

I'm seeing this still in virtualbox 4.3.20/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. And disabling 3D accelertion is not really an option as it makes Unity's performance utterly terrible. How is the work coming on the Linux native menus?

[peterflynn]

@mikesigs I don't think native menus would do anything to fix this bug, unfortunately. It really is a problem with the way Chromium interacts with VirtualBox -- likely a bug in one or both of those projects, and little we could do in Brackets to make it go away.

One thing you could do to confirm (or disprove) that supposition would be this:

1. Make sure you have no unsaved work in Brackets
2. Choose Debug > Show Developer Tools from the menu
3. In the console tab, type window.location = "https://github.com/adobe/brackets"
4. The Brackets UI should get replaced by the GitHub webpage. Does that suffer the same bug?
5. Try a few more websites for comparison. Do they all show this bug, or only some of them, or is Brackets the only content where this bug appears?

[mikesigs]

I did as you described and got some very peculiar results. Dev tools displays as though I've redirected to GitHub (i.e. I can see the html, source, etc of GitHub ) but the Brackets UI remains unchanged. However, it's only the visual elements you can't see. If you click anywhere within Brackets, for example in the upper right-hand corner I can get into my notifications, settings, etc., but what I'm seeing is still the UI of the Brackets page I had open previously. If I maximize Brackets at this point it just renders as an all black window (with the toolbar). If I move the window around the black contents lags behind a bit and I can see the GitHub page in a layer behind it. This same behavior occurred with every URL I tried.

[mikesigs]

I found a ticket for VirtualBox that may identify the problem I'm having. Although it claims to be fixed.
