From version 0.9.2 to 0.9.6 the buttons on the qt interface are note well-aligned (see the post on the videolan forum). On my amd64 machine it's all ok, so seems a x86 related problem. For all vlc version tested i've always used qt-4.3.3(4)(21:14:24 23/04/2008)(accessibility cups dbus gif input_devices_wacom jpeg mng mysql nas odbc opengl png postgres qt3support ssl tiff xinerama zlib -debug -doc -examples -firebird -glib -nis -pch -sqlite -sqlite3) I didn't try to re-emerge qt (but the guy on the forum has).

Really weird; I've had seen that forum post but never have I been able to reproduce it (I'm on amd64 though). @x86 team: can anyone reproduce this ? Could be related to qt useflags too, but you said you've been using the exact same useflags on the two machines.
well, i used the same qt version for all vlc installations on x86, checking now the differences... Ok the qt-4.3.3 on amd64 differs from x86 by this use flags: -nas -input_devices_wacom +sqlite (really...they seems not related to manage widget's layout) I'm building qt on amd64 with the same flags of the x86 version... I'll check the libpng version on the two machine ( 1.2.26-r1 on amd64, i've not access now at the x86). Any other idea?
I encountred the same probleme using VLC media player 0.9.4 Grishenko with a gentoo x86 (intel prosss not amd 64bit) you can see a screencapture of the result : http://picasaweb.google.fr/lh/photo/CCu7CPDXhahJ8YWef8iYmQ i installed this version of vlc by modifying /etf/make.conf ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" # the only solution to install the last version #my use variable USE_KDE1="bzip2 cxx unicode zlib -doc -debug -java" USE_KDE2="crypt python -examples -lcms nls -emacs -mono xscreensaver" USE_KDE3="cups ipv6 -firebird gif -immqt -immqt-bc -mysql -nas -nis -odbc opengl -postgres -sqlite" USE_KDE4="midi -alisp -network-cron ssl" USE_KDE5="berkdb gbdm pam -authdaemond -kerberos -ldap -ntlm_unsupported_patch -urandom -xcomposite" USE_KDE6="acl alsa cups -avahi -bindist -branding -fam -jpeg2k -kdeenablefinal -kdehiddenvisibility -legacyssl -lua -openexr -spell tiff -utempter" USE_KDE="$USE_KDE1 $USE_KDE2 $USE_KDE3 $USE_KDE4 $USE_KDE5 $USE_KDE6" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" USE_KDE_BASE="-arts -debug -kdeenablefinal -xinerama" USE_VIDEO="ffmpeg mpeg mad wxwindows ogg flac theora aac dts a52 oggvorbis matroska freetype truetype bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live png" #for printer USE_PRINTER="ppds scanner snmp" #USE="X gtk gnome -alsa" USE="suid X gtk -gnome qt3 qt4 kde dvd alsa cdr $USE_KDE_BASE $USE_KDE $USE_PRINTER $USE_VIDEO"
So now we have - VLC depending on QT (on XFCE and/or GNOME desktop) - interface buttons messed up (on x86 32 bit) - embedded video not working (> 0.9.3) - m3u-extvlcopt switch no longer supported (which breaks my DVB-T playlist) I would call this a regression and I seriously doubt that stabilizing 0.9.X has been a good idea ... Hoping that the 0.8.6* ebuild(s) will stay in portage, for I'm going to mask 0.9.X ... Cheers Axel
on x86: - unmerge, emerge of vlc-0.9.6... nothing solved (well as expected). - i'll try with qt and the same use flags i've on amd64 (but imho probably doesn't matter)
Don't forget 0.9.6 puts it's config in a different location. I dumped it anyways and went back to the old version since the wxGTK is no longer supported. It is worthless without an interface and there isn't a QT binary on my systems. devolution..
Just want to confirm that I also have this bug on x86 but not on ~amd64, and that I really look forward to it being fixed! I would also question whether 0.9.x should have gone stable for x86.

Just another little note... looking at the interface seems that the layout manager consider the buttons as if they were half-sized. Joining this with the fact that this problem is reported only on x86 and not on amd64, can be a wrong declaration type/conversation regarding some variable that specify the size of the buttons/group? After all, the other buttons at the right are ok... (i know that would be a good idea look at the code... but i've really no time to get familiarity with qt and to investigate deeply in the vlc code... so like always... any volunteers?)

I've enabled the same > USE-flags on x86 as on amd64. and now comes the extra question: I suppose the main difference between x86 and ~x86 is the qt4 version; does using qt4.4 instead of 4.3.3 solves this ? and 4.3.x (x>=4)?
incorrect with qt-4.3.{4,5} good with qt-4.4.
(In reply to comment #13) > incorrect with qt-4.3.{4,5} > good with qt-4.4. so this is a qt4+x86 issue? I'm not 100% sure there, but if this is fixed by upgrading qt this is probably not a vlc issue. @qt: any help is very welcome
qt-4.4.2 is now stable, so on my x86 machine , using the latest stable vlc and qt-4.4.2 I can't reproduce this issue
also fixed in my setup, closing.
