Description
The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform: Windows-10-10.0.22631
ChimeraX Version: 1.7.1 (2024-01-23 01:58:08 UTC)
Description
Hi,
When opening Chimera, the boxes in the model browser to select and show models are fine, but when moving the window to a new screen with a different resolution, they become tiny. Can this be fixed somehow?
Many thanks
Jakob Andersson

Hi Jakob,
Thanks for reporting this problem. I'm hoping you can help me out with some more information. Try opening a structure (e.g. 7gt6) and show a chain sequence by clicking a link under the "Description" column in the chain table in the log. Bring up a context menu on the resulting sequence tool (usually by right-mouse click) and choose Annotations→Regions... in the context menu. In the Regions dialog that comes up, are the checkboxes in the table small? Are the checkboxes under the table (activates/shows/etc.) small?

Hi Eric,
Thanks for your email. Looks like the boxes are small there too:

Hi Jakob,
The fact that it is happening everywhere strongly implies it is a problem/bug in the Qt windowing toolkit that ChimeraX uses. Could you try the current ChimeraX daily build and see if it also has this problem? The daily build is using a significantly newer version of the Qt toolkit than the 1.7.1 release is, so there is some chance that the newer versions fixes this problem. Let us know what happens.
comment:6 by , 21 months ago
This is surely a bug in the Qt window toolkit.
The ChimeraX daily build is currently using the same Qt version as ChimeraX 1.7.1 and 1.7, namely Qt 6.3. ChimeraX 1.6 uses Qt 6.4.
We hope to soon update the ChimeraX daily build to Qt 6.6.2 but the release of that Qt has been delayed (it was supposed to be released 2 days ago). ChimeraX 1.7 uses the older Qt 6.3 because Qt 6.4 caused many crashes on Mac. Qt 6.6.1 caused different crashes on Mac that are supposed to be fixed in Qt 6.6.2.
The Qt window toolkit is riddled with bugs. You are fortunate it is only small checkbuttons.
The next step will be to try the ChimeraX daily build when we update it to Qt 6.6.2. That should happen in the next couple weeks after Qt 6.6.2 comes out. I will post a message to this ticket when ChimeraX is updated so you can test.

The ChimeraX daily build is now using Qt 6.6.2 while ChimeraX 1.7.1 uses the much older Qt 6.3. You could try the ChimeraX daily build and see if it still has the small checkbox problem.
If that does not fix it there is probably nothing we can do.
Reassigning to Eric in case the Models tool and Region pane do some quirky style sheet settings that may be causing the small checkbuttons.

There is no stylesheet tomfoolery going on.
