Re: [Texmacs-dev] Native M1 version

[Pierre-Henri Jondot]

Hi everyone,

I tried this build on my m1 macbook air and although I did not try to benchmark 
it, it feels really smooth and responsive. 

A few bugs though : 
- icons on the toolbar at first launch were really huge. It got fixed by 
playing with the settings about retina screen, although I am not sure what 
fixed it exactly as I got one direction and back and I am pretty sure the 
settings are now the same as they were when I first ran this new build of 
TeXmacs.
- a supposedly reproducible bug now : going full screen and back, the 
background color for dialogs, toolbars and borders turns black (which along 
with black color for fonts is, well, a bit confusing...) I have not found how 
to get it back to normal, except by closing the buffer and opening it again.

I did not try the native menus, and so far have not experienced any crash.

Regards,

Pierre-Henri
