v1.0.0-beta.1: AppImage crash & unusable user interface (Linux Mint 21.3, X11)

[Moini]

Hi!

The AppImage behaves very oddly on my system.

• the user interface looks incomplete
• when I hover over the menu, items get cut off
• dialogs are cut off
• when I start a new project, except for the buttons on the left side, there is basically no user interface
• when I open the preferences to see whether there's a theme issue, perhaps, I get an instant crash.

Command line output (ends with crash on preferences menu choice):

Broken driver and/or Mesa.

Thanks, that gets me one step further. It no longer crashes when opening the preferences.

The interface now looks like this:

• Menu items still cut off when hovering over them
• Dialogs and any texts cut off
• No UI for editing a project after creating a new one

[Moini]

I can get it to this, with dragging on the divider and drawing something:

• Pointer highlight in the timeline area is shifted (it is three lines below the actual mouse cursor)

I don't know, not able to replicate (tried Mint 21.3 LiveISO, worked fine).

Note I do not test Radeon cards, only Intel and NVIDIA.

Could it be a theme incompatibility? And perhaps an additional issue with the font size (I think I increased it on my system, getting older...).

If it's not that, it looks like it might be the Radeon, then:

Is there anything I can do to help debug?
