Having a few UI problems with Bloom on linux

I’m on the latest release of Bloom for linux (4.2.134.13abeb-1+bionic1) and am having a few difficulties with menus and buttons not working or working intermittently:

  1. ‘Languages’ button is non-responsive so I can’t select a second language
  2. ‘Help’ drop down menu sometimes comes down when clicked, mostly doesn’t
  3. Clicking the gear icon at the bottom left of a text box doesn’t always bring up the editing options. When it does, the options often disappear as soon as one thing is clicked.
  4. Some text boxes already have red outline and warning that ‘this box has more text than will fit’ before any text has actually been typed.
  5. Also, but I don’t think this is a programming issue, Khmer is no longer there as a possible system language (same on Windows).

Looking at the Bloom log.txt in /tmp/SIL/Bloom there is a repeated error, copied below. Have also included a link to the whole log file:

Please let me know if you can reproduce the error or not. I have upgraded apps recently so I don’t think I’m missing any dependencies, but I don’t know. Thanks ever so much.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for this feedback. Unfortunately, we cannot process bug reports through this community forum, which is for getting help/sharing ideas.

Would you be able to help us out and report each of 1-4 individually, using the Help:Report a Problem menu?

Also, but I don’t think this is a programming issue, Khmer is no longer there as a possible system language (same on Windows).

Bloom now only lists UI Languages that are 25% complete. Khmer is currently at 2%

thanks

Hi John. Thanks for the reply. Sorry about that: should have read the forum rules. Unfortunately, because of this particular bug, I can’t access the help menu:wink: I’ll put it in an email to Steve.

I can’t access the help menu

In that case, please email each individual issue to issues@bloomlibrary.org, rather than a particular developer. Thanks!
