Package: xsane Version: 0.999-5 Severity: normal After upgrading to stretch the preview window is empty/unusable: i.e. it seems bug 712281 should be reopened.
How to reproduce: (no .sane/xsane yet) start xsane close the preview window (at this point the preview window can still be reopened ok) stop xsane start xsane open the preview Result: an empty window, no buttons, and moving the mouse generates strips of mostly black blobs on the top and left of the window. But -- quitting xsane now, and restarting it does result in a working preview window again! So the problem seems to be some missing initialization of the preview window when starting without one. As described in bug 712281, rm -r ~/.sane/xsane also resolves the problem, temporarily at least, but that is because without .sane/xsane the default is to start _with_ the preview window. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xsane depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgimp2.0 2.8.18-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii liblcms2-2 2.8-4 ii libpng16-16 1.6.28-1 ii libsane 1.0.25-4.1 ii libtiff5 4.0.8-2+deb9u1 ii xsane-common 0.999-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages xsane recommends: ii chromium [www-browser] 59.0.3071.86-1 ii cups-client 2.2.1-8 ii elinks [www-browser] 0.12~pre6-12 ii firefox-esr [www-browser] 52.2.0esr-1~deb9u1 ii google-chrome-stable [www-browser] 59.0.3071.115-1 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-34 Versions of packages xsane suggests: ii gimp 2.8.18-1 pn gocr | cuneiform | tesseract-ocr | ocrad <none> ii gv 1:3.7.4-1+b1 pn hylafax-client | mgetty-fax <none> -- debconf-show failed
