Linux missing dependency?

[DonEdwards]

Running 0.11.0 on Linux Mint 19.3 (Debian descendant)

Assorted window controls are missing. Example: if I go to Edit, Settings, I have no way to close the resulting dialog - except by killing the entire program.

I suspect there's something missing in my installation. But if so, it really should be tagged as a dependency in the .deb install package.

Note: launching the program from a terminal window gets no useful information.

Let's try this again in a different browser
installed.txt

I think if there was a dependency missing the program should actually report something in the output stream. Also the program would probably crash instead of acting weird.

@DonEdwards At least comparing to the dependencies listed in the Arch repository (which work for me definitely ^^'), the only thing you are potentially missing is PDF.js (which is optional).

[DonEdwards]

Well, my (very tentative) hypothesis is that there's a dependency which should be listed, but isn't. And an over-enthusiastic bit of error-handling code catches the exception and says "Okay, no problem!" Having written one or two such error handlers myself...

@DonEdwards This may be a theme issue; themes for Gtk3 don't show the window controls on settings dialogs because they're not meant to be normal windows. Can you try this for me?
Launch Nemo file manager(nemo from command line if you don't know how)
Select Edit from the top menu bar.
Select the Preferences option at the bottom of the drop down list.

Does this preferences window have the window controls that you would expect?

"Does this preferences window have the window controls that you would expect?"

No, it doesn't.

I recently found that if I right-click on the window's title bar, I can close it... Hope I don't get one of these that is supposed to have "OK" and "Cancel" buttons...

This bug report can be closed then, since its a Gtk/Theme problem and not a manuskript problem!

[DonEdwards]

Agreed
