Re: Frescobaldi on Wayland

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Andrew,

the error message can be safely ignored. QWindow::requestActivate() is used to 
make a window active. Frescobaldi is pretty stable under Wayland, just some 
small quirks (i.e. you cannot dock a Toolbar that has be detached into the 
main window and tooltips might display in a weird way).

But I’m using Frescobaldi natively under Wayland for quite some time now, and 
there are no real problems.

You can of course force Frescobaldi to run under XWayland by setting 
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb. So as long as you’ve got XWayland running there should be 
no problem with getting Frescobaldi to run in it’s full glory.

Cheers,
Valentin
