Bug Report Fedora 31: Preview window is transparent

[jtagcat]

Occurs on both flatpak and repo.
Can't use the preview window, it just doesn't exist.

I think this happens when you run a wayland session and Qt runs natively in the wayland backend instead of the xwayland fallback.

Hi! Same probleme here, on Fedora 32 + Wayland. It works with Xorg

I'm still running into this. Is there some workaround or incoming bug fix?

When logging in on your Desktop select Xorg session instead of Wayland.

I found another workaround too in case it helps someone: you can run OBS from the terminal like this:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb obs

And I guess that uses Xwayland or something? IDK but it works for me.

That's correct.

Is there a non-workaround fix? Using "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" also seems to disable screen-sharing from Wayland sessions these days.
