GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 772162
When deleting ALL images, the last one stays in preview
Last modified: 2016-10-04 17:43:49 UTC
Here are steps to reproduce the issue: 1) Find a folder with *at least* 2 images /some/folder 2) Open eog in it: eog /some/folder 3) Use Shift+Delete to delete permanently the first image. **Tick** the "don't warn me again for this session" check-box 4) Do the same for the second image 5) Next and previous images are grayed (but NOT rotation buttons). Additionally the image stays here. Please note that not ticking the checkbox and/or using simply Delete instead of Shift+Delete seem not to replicate the bug.
Well, for me it eventually does clear if move the mouse over it or click on it. It looks like the widget doesn't notice that it needs a redraw over the whole image area.
Yes, eog didn't invalidate the image area the moment the image was unset. Apparently until now something else was causing enough "damage" then so that GTK+ quickly scheduled a redraw on its own. commit 85043d5c75bdd606dc4a059761582d007fdd967e Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Tue Oct 4 19:33:49 2016 +0200 EogScrollView: Ensure view is redrawn if image is unset Otherwise the image could stay visible until the user triggers a redraw, for example by mouse clicking. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772162 --- This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
Awesome, thanks Felix for the quick fix!
