Background image scrolling problem.

[Seejay01]

If the queue style is set to 'Table' and 'Current album cover' is selected as the background image, the background image glitches out while scrolling the queue.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select Style: 'Table' in the Play Queue tab under Interface Settings
2. Select 'Current album cover' as the background image.
3. Fill the queue with enough tracks so that scrolling is required.
4. Scroll
5. See error

Expected behavior
as with 'Grouped Albums' selected, the background should remain static while scrolling the queue.

Version Info

• OS: Linux
• Cantata Version: 2.4.0

I'm using Cinnamon DE on Arch Linux on my PC and LXDE on my laptop. Both have the same issue. I don't recall having this issue when I was using KDE Plasma. Might have something to do with GTK vs QT?

Also seems to affect the grouped queue. :(

Feature has been disabled, as I have no time to look into a real fix.

Jsut in case anyone wants to look into this, to re-enable this feature edit config.h.cmake and change #define ENABLE_VIEW_BACKGROUND (QT_VERSION < QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 12, 0)) to #define ENABLE_VIEW_BACKGROUND 1

I was immensely disappointed to find that the background album cover images were removed when I started Cantata 2.4.0. I tested re-enabling the feature and it was fine, no issues. My system has Qt 5.13.2. I made a brief video of the main Cantata 2.4.0 window on my system:

I don't see any glitches.

Perhaps the #define line disabling this feature could be changed to be Qt-version specific?

Ah! Thanks! Yes, I will re-enable this option for 2.4.1

I'll try to release 2.4.1 in about a week - just to give time for an extra issues.
