2 title bars in some gnome GTK apps - user-interface

i am having a strange issue, i have 2 title bars in some gnome apps at the top.
Here is a picture from the calendar app, look at the top:
And another one from the calculator app:
Any idea how to fix this issue or what might be causing it ?
My system info:
Operating Sysytem: Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon
Cinnamon Version: 5.4.12
Linux Kernel: 5.15.0-48-generic

The inner or lower title is the CSD -- Client-Side Decoration. What is supposed to happen is that the application tells the window manager not to put its own, standard, decoration, on the window. For some reason, in your situation, the window manager is ignoring that request and adding its own (outer/upper) title bar. Are you using a non-standard window manager, or have you inadvertently made some setting to the window manager, telling it always to decorate/reparent its windows?

Problem solved by removing gtk3-nocsd, i did the following:
sudo apt remove gtk3-nocsd
Reboot

IntelliJ windows from Linux box displayed via ssh/X11 on MacOS illegible

I have XQuartz 1.20.11 (xorg-server 1.20.11) on an M1 MacBook Pro (installed via MacPorts) and am trying to display IntelliJ running on a Linux box via ssh/X11.
The IntelliJ windows appear with oddly rendered text that's unreadableā€”the white background turns black, and there are white outlines around the black text. If I click outside of an X11 window and start typing, then the IntelliJ window looks normal. But as soon as I touch the trackpad, IntelliJ becomes unreadable.
I tried taking a screen shot, but it comes out looking normal even though the window is nearly unreadable. So I've attached photo of the screen.
X11 windows from other applications display fine.
As mentioned in an XQuartz thread, setting
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dsun.java2d.xrender=false' clears up the text but results in extremely slow display.
Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting or a solution?

Weird Android Emulator and Mac tap-to-click sensitivity issue

I'm experiencing a really weird and frustrating issue with the Android Emulator on macOS Monterey.
I have "tap to click" enabled on my Macbook Pro (Mid 2015 15"), and it works fine in all other apps. But somehow, when the emulator window is active it seems to miss almost every other tap. If I click hard instead of tapping, it catches every click. The tap sensitivity in the Trackpad settings is set to "light".
So, it seems that the emulator window is somehow less sensitive to tapping than all other apps. I don't even know how this is possible, is there even such a thing as app-specific tap-sensitivity??
What's more, it's not only the emulator window itself that has this issue, but the emulator settings window as well. If I tap the "Enable clipboard sharing" toggle, it misses about 50% of the taps. If I click hard, it catches them 100%. If I try the same in some other app (tested with the "System Preferences" window), it catches 100% of the taps.
I have tested and tested this again to make sure I'm not biasing the results, but there really is a difference, and it's driving me nuts. I think it appeared after updating to Monterey, but not 100% sure of the exact timing correlation.
Any ideas??
My problem was really similar, I am using MAC with apple mouse, so I could fix it by disabling the mouse wheel on Android Emulator Extended Controls.
Hope that help
I've noticed the same issue some time ago. Unfortunately, I didn't find any solutions.
However, there are a couple of good enough workarounds:
Launch the emulator in a tool window. Anyway, this is a default approach for modern versions of Android Studio. To enable/disable it check Preferences -> Tools -> Emulator -> Launch in a tool window.
Use alt emulators. For instance, Genymotion doesn't have such an issue.
I ran into a simmiliar issue for me and the solution that i found was enabling "tap on click" to in the "system preferences" -> "trackpad".
I am new to the Android Emulator, but am experiencing the same issue in Ubuntu, even though I have tap-to-click disabled in the OS. I hate tap-to-click, so having an ultra-sensitive-to-touch Android screen emulated on my laptop is beyond frustrating.
Looking at the documentation, I came across the SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER method, which states:
The input source is a pointing device associated with a display. Examples: SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN, SOURCE_MOUSE. A MotionEvent should be interpreted as absolute coordinates in display units according to the View hierarchy. Pointer down/up indicated when the finger touches the display or when the selection button is pressed/released. Use getMotionRange(int) to query the range of the pointing device. Some devices permit touches outside the display area so the effective range may be somewhat smaller or larger than the actual display size.
In reading that, I've come to believe this may actually be the default behavior due to touchpad events being interpreted through the SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN method, rather than SOURCE_TOUCHPAD or SOURCE_MOUSE.
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution as much as a workaround:
I plugged in a mouse and tested the pointer up/down movements over the screen, which this part of the document suggests should register as a press. However, with the mouse it only responds to clicks. So it suggests to me that it is indeed properly interpreted as a SOURCE_MOUSE controlled pointer and not a SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN controlled pointer.
So unless we can find out how to make the AVD properly interpret a touchpad as a touchpad, and not a touchscreen, using a mouse seems like the best solution.
For reference, I'm including this link to the AVD manual: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator
UPDATE: Somehow over the period of about 18 hours and several restarts, my AVD no longer does tap-to-click on its virtual screen. It would be very hard to pinpoint exactly what changed because I've been updating packages frequently since I'm running a pre-alpha release of Ubuntu, but I think it's from using X11 instead of Wayland.
Which got me thinking, you could try changing your display server from Cocoa to X11. Thankfully, MacPorts, the MacOS version of the FreeBSD Ports Tree, makes it fairly easy to cross-compile software. It contains build recipes for multi-platform unix-like software, much like HomeBrew but often allowing for more customization.
That tap issue was annoying enough it's probably worth giving a shot.
(from macports website) The X11 windowing environment, for ports that depend on the functionality it provides to run. You have multiple choices for an X11 server: https://www.macports.org/install.php
I would build them in this order:
MacPorts: X11 - If you build it, you'll have a bunch of libraries already
MacPorts: QEMU - use make configure menu to select GTK3+, if there's no option for X11, try this build flag with make after you install X11 (pointing it at your X11's lib dir):
make -L/opt/X11/lib -lX11
Lastly, MacPorts: Android Platform tools

Liver Server button is Not Visible in VS Code on MAC

Liver Server button is Not Visible in VS Code on MAC.
I am using MAC OS Monterey 12.0.1
I am using VS Code for my practising along with live server environment. However, even after installing and enabling the extension "Live server", i am not seeing any button where it supposed to be.
I am a PRO windows user and started using MAC PRO recently (If this detail helps).
Below are my checks.
Installed the extension and reloaded the VS Code - Yes.
Did i check the notification area (The Blue Bar at bottom) - Yes (screen clipping is attached)
3)Is the Default browser mentioned in settings - YES !! As per my windows experience, we no need to. However, i have mentioned chrome as my default browser (Screen shot attached).
Now, I understood there is a fundamental difference here. In windows i can see that this option will work with any types of files even with a normal directory.
However, when it come to MAC i am getting this option only when i open a .JS file. Below is the scree shot.
My bad and feeling embraced, i don't know how did i miss this silly thing ??

White screen shows up during regular use after El Capitan upgrade

MacBook Pro retina (2013). Yosemite was doing fine; but after I upgraded it to El Capitan, I get white screen showing up every few minutes during regular coding and browsing. I searched online but most white screen problems of Mac users happened during the upgrade, but mine is during regular use. Anyone knows how to debug problems like this?
EDIT: some more clues --- 1. the pointer is still visible and I can move it around as well; 2. I can even take a screenshot of the white screen; 3. when I swipe up on touchpad I still get to "show my desktop", but after I swipe down the white screen comes back.
It sounds like there is a scheduled job that starts up in the background and runs an incompatible app. What does your console say when you reboot?
You need to remove 3rd party internet related software that isn't fully compatible with El Capitan and then reboot.
Also, did you try the fixes recommended
here.
Specifically
1) enter single user mode and run /sbin/fsck -fy
2) boot into safe mode
You may also need to remove these items (tuntap, a VPN software):
/Library/StartupItems/tap
/Library/StartupItems/tun

QGIS 2.2 on OSX Mavericks stuck in full screen mode

I toggled into full screen mode on QGIS 2.2 on my Mac, and now the menu bar won't show and I can't toggle out of it. From the documentation, it looks like it should toggle with F11, but it's not working. I've seen people having similar trouble on Ubuntu and Windows 7, but nothing for OSX. Any ideas? I appreciate it.
Just spent close to an hour with this problem- QGIS 2.2 on mavericks. Really vexing! I tried reinstalling (after trashing the previous version as instructed in the install notes), tried removing the hidden .qgis2 folder in the home directory, tried disabling all spaces on the machine (I started with 8 desktops), tried all permutations of Apple-F, ctrl-F, apple-shift-F, etc...
Finally, and simply, the answer was this:
F11 is documented as the toggle key, but in my mostly stock setup this was bound in MissionControl to 'display the desktop'. I rebound that function to F1, and then with QGIS up, hit F11 (on my MBP I need to also hold the fn key otherwise it's 'volume down') and I was out of Full screen mode.
Hope it works for you!
