Nice catch! @c0b41 👍
Any idea why those annoying scrollbars are there?

[c0b41]

@hql287 probably due to my screen dimensions

[hql287]

Do they go away if you resize the windows?

[c0b41]

@hql287 i dont no, but probably go away

the hardware acceleration should definitly be on by default for linux, the performance of the the app is otherwise terrible. i understand that some users may need this as a workaround for the mentioned bug, so i would also suggest a flag to disable hardware acceleration. would submit a pull request for this.

@jens-t I don't have a Linux machine at the moment so I can't tell how this would affect the performance of the app. Would you be able to do a benchmark so we know if it's worth the effort to investigate further? Thanks!

I dont know how to benchmark this. But to be more clear, when i open the app with disabled hw acceleration, the whole ui flickers arround the mouse pointer position. And Scrolling is more jumping and hanging, than smooth. So the app is unusable for me, without hwa. As i mentioned, disabling hw acceleration is a dirty workarround and not needed for a big part of the linux users.
