Hi,
When I display an overlay scale bar in tksurfer, the labels for the
scale bar are displayed in black on a black background. Obviously, this
is completely unusable since I cannot read them! They are there,
however, because if I move the surface over so that it underlies the
scale bar, the text shows up (in black) just fine.
Some time ago the text was rendering in blue, which I thought was an odd
choice but gave no further thought to it until I noticed the text
disappear completely. Now, it seems like a bug to me, but unfortunately
I did not notice exactly when the switched occurred. Unless there is
some setting buried somewhere to control the text color? I'd love to
just set it to white and not deal with this again... I have upgraded
both my os and my graphics drivers recently so I wonder if that broke
something.
The only clue I have is that I know the newest ATI drivers run on AIGLX
instead of XGL, could that cause any errors?
I'm seeing this in both FS 3 and 4:
tksurfer --all-info on my v.4 returns:
