On top fullscreen toolbar has broken badly in Linux

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

See the attached screenshot.

Qt: 4.8.5 (vanilla)
Qt Style: QtCurve KDE4 1.8.12

QtCurve is compiled without KDE dependancies, i.e. as a pure Qt4 style.

What's broken, the menu? Which Linux distribution? I don't think this is a 4.3.8 regression.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

See the top menu - a part of it is hidden/cut.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Oh, btw, 4.3.6 has this issue too.

[Frank Mehnert]

Again, which Linux distribution is this? I don't see any problem on Ubuntu 13.10 and Debian 7.0. Also, did you use packages from this website or did you compile VirtualBox yourself?

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

CentOS i686 6.5 with a custom Qt built (basically 4.8.5 vanilla).

I can upload this Qt version for you to try to reproduce this bug.

[Frank Mehnert]

Actually I don't see the point in reproducing the problem with a custom-built Qt. We use Qt 4.7.4 compiled with default settings for CentOS 6 and I didn't see such reports elsewhere. So why don't you use the VBox packages from download.virtualbox.org?

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

You didn't get me.

I use the official VBox binaries from virtualbox.org

rpm -qi VirtualBox-4.3

I only have a newer Qt version (compiled from the official sources with a few patches applied) because CentOS 6.5 contains a rather outdated one.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Here's my ​Qt 4.8.5 build for CentOS 6.5 i686.

sha1sum bug12753.tar.xz

Along with the instructions how to set it up and all the patches I applied on top of qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz.

I have many other Qt4 applications and none of them have any visual problems/glitches.

[Frank Mehnert]

Right, sorry. But then I still don't see the point in debugging your issue. Either use the Qt version provided by CentOS 6 or switch to a Linux distribution which provides a newer Qt version. We just don't have time to support such mixed configurations.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

OK, you may close this bug report then.

I will try to reproduce it in e.g. Fedora 20 to see if it applies there.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
