Under various circumstances, part or all of the Mailspring interface becomes blurry. This has been observed on several platforms:
Some users suspect this is related to Electron. @bengotow has thought it likely it is rendering on the half-pixel.
We would need further verification of this occuring with Mailspring 1.7.8 or later, ideally on an up-to-date system, before we can diagnose further.
I can confirm this is still an issue for me in the activity sub-menu. OSX 10.14.6, Mailspring 1.7.8. A bit perplexed why it’s working on one machine but not the other, though (same osx and mailspring version)
I have been trying to reproduce the issue, but had no luck so far. Tested on:
Ubuntu 20.10 – Multiple display resolutions and scaling factors (100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%)
macOS 11.1 – MacBook Retina Display with different resolutions + external display
downloading the latest update fixed the activity tray blurriness for me! maybe it was just a weird initial install bug
I can confirm this on Windows 10 Pro, updated to the latest patches as of April 18, 2021. I have seen this in other programs like Discord, and disabling hardware acceleration in the settings fixes it.
It persists through a restart, and through GPU driver updates. I have an nVidia RTX 3080. Monitor refresh is 240Hz.
What information can I provide to help troubleshoot?
Is this issue still being looked into?
The mailspring app is still considerably more blurry than any other mail client I’ve tried so far.
My system information is as follows:
| Edition | Windows 11 Pro |
|---|---|
| Version | 21H2 |
| OS build | 22000.675 |
| Experience | Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.675.0 |
| Mailspring version | 1.10.3-a476c230 |
If there’s any more information I can provide to help debug, please let me know.
It’s now 2024. I just installed Mailspring again on my PC (Windows 11) after not using it for a while, and this is still an issue. Devs, is there anything we can do to help you debug the issue? Because, while it doesn’t render the app unusable, it’s rather annoying.
