OpenCPN windows "stuck" cannot move or resize

[genki]

Hi,

Newbie here and sorry if this is a stupid question.

I've installed OpenCPN version 5.6.2-0+b75bc7b on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8gb from the Openplotter image.

The issue is that when I open the options window, it is "stuck" to the top left of the screen. I cannot resize the options window, I cannot grab it with the mouse and move it.

Very strange behavior. All other windows except any in OpenCPN are fully rezisable and movable. For example a terminal window behaves normally.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks!

When I tried OpenPlotter in the RasPi 4 8GB, I had similar behaviours because I haven't activated the OpenGL and also I needed to download and install it, after that it was normal working with it.

How I did it? really I cannot remember, I left the RsaPi abandoned in a drawer, I had a lot of problems with "file permission" and at last installed windows 11 ARM64 on it, but really only using from time to time for update the o.s. only

Hi Corsair63

Thank you for the help. You were right, it was the OpenGL settings.

If I enable OpenGL then OpenCPN slows to almost unusably slow but the windows behave better.

But if I enable OpenGL and then select "Software OpenGL" the performance returns to being pretty good, and the windows work also.

So I guess the fix on Raspian is to enable Software OpenGL.

In case anyone stumbles on this post in the future with the same problems.
I'm running
OpenCPN version 5.6.2-0+b75be76
Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) aarch64
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4
Kernel: 5.15.84-v8+

Thanks !!

For your information I did my install with Openplotter image of 64 bits for bullseye and was running well.
