Unfortunately the "New tournament" window does not fit the screen ; it is bigger than that.

Also running cutechess :

Code: Select all

$ cutechess
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
qt.qpa.qgnomeplatform.theme: The desktop style for QtQuick Controls 2 applications is not available on the system (qqc2-desktop-style). The application may look broken.
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

Farewell.

Because I am using NVIDIA graphics card , Fedora is still using x11 rather than wayland :

Code: Select all

$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
x11
I prefer to use NVIDIA drivers , not open-source but immature nouveau ones.

I found this alt+F7 workaround. Now I can move the window around and do the job. It is somehow inconvenient though. Still waiting for a coding fix.
