Hi guys! I’ve noticed the TGTextEdit is not displaying the text on macOS. Using xQuartz 2.7.11. Attached please find a screenshot of the /tutorials/gui/guitest.c

I’ve tried TGTextView and it seems to have the same issue. Screenshot is attached below:

I think this is similar of the issue you have:

ROOT for macOS 10.14

there is one particular widget that seems broken: TGTextView it works in interpreted mode but not in compiled mode. an example macro is attached. I use the following to compile clang++ -g -I. -O2 -std=c++11 -I/opt/local/include/ -I `root-config --incdir` -O -Wall -fPIC denc.C -o aaa.exe -L/opt/local/lib/ -lgsl -lGeom -lm `root-config --glibs` denc.C (2.5 KB)

Hi I’ve tried running the /tutorials/gui/guitest.c in interpreted mode as well as I did compile an executable. It does not seem to make any difference. Widgets do not display any text. We do take advantage of this widget in the software. Any workarounds?

Well, I don’t have any Mac to try it out, and I’m away until next week, so I’m afraid I can’t really help for the time being…
