re: step 2, edit launch script, not launch "binary" tarball can be obtained here: https://desktop-download.mendeley.com/download/linux/mendeleydesktop-1.19.3-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 Link isn't listed on the mendeley website anymore as far as I can tell (they've moved on to 1.19.4, which likely suffers from the same bug as 1.19.3 and 1.19.2), but it's still on their servers as of today. Please test 1.19.4. (In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #3) > Please test 1.19.4. I've tested 1.19.4 now and it's still a problem. The same fix solves it. I cannot reproduce with current systems... I can add PDFs and they are opened properly :/ This bug pertained to an incompatibility between QT 5.11 and Mendeley 1.19.3 and 1.19.4. QT has seen a version bump in gentoo since these bugs were identified and is now at 5.13. I believe the version bundled with mendeley is 5.12, so it makes sense that updating to a newer version of QT would fix the problem. I've done a world update and I no longer have this problem anymore either. I've marked the bug obsolete. |
