I have been able to build CMB+SMTK linked to Qt 5.12 on macos 10.14 (mojave) using the Qt binaries from homebrew (i.e., a bottled build). I have not done extensive testing.
Note that the quarter-sized render area problem is independent of dark mode. However, this rendering issue only occurs when running the application in a debugger started in a terminal. Running the application by double-clicking never seems to suffer from the problem.
@cory.quammen This is the same rendering issue I have been having with ParaView (and is exhibited by the ParaView build in the modelbuilder superbuild). So at least I have a workaround (run in low resolution mode or start the app using Finder).
@dcthomp I have just built using Qt 5.12.0 from their installer. In my build, both ParaView and ModelBuilder have no GUI elements (despite their being enabled in the View menu). Any suggestions?
Hmm, ModelBuilder renders just fine when I build it outside of the superbuild. I’ll bet there’s something funny with my superbuild’s configuration. Sorry for the noise!
@dcthomp Do you happen to have the environment variable DASHBOARD_TEST_FROM_CTEST set in your terminal? That tells the widget to run in low-resolution mode.
FYI I run ParaView from Terminal.app all the time without seeing the quarter-size rendering you are seeing.
Yup, that was it! It also does other Qt things that I enjoyed (like not popping prompts or adding menu animations), but I would rather have a full-size render window.
