This is certainly not a report of one specific bug.
Rather this is an urgent request for keeping Spyder accessible to Linux users also in the future.
I have been using Spyder happily under X11-WMs and Linux since 2009 and v1.0.0.
These days, pressure from Distros on Linux users, to ditch X11 for Wayland is getting almost inescapable.
However, when I try to work with Spyder under Wayland, it is far from being as usable as under X11.
Just an example from today:
Currently I am looking at a Wayland Graphics Platform on a new system with KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5, KDE Frameworks, Version: 6.10.0, Qt Version: 6.8.1, Kernel Version: 6.12.9-1-default (64-bit) running Syder 6.0.3.
Now, Spyders default fonts are way too small for me.
Under X11 one can just set custom high DPI scaling in the prefs. to ones liking. Done.
Under Wayland, doing the same, breaks Spyder's GUI. Most important this means, that all the menus do not function properly anymore. I.e. trying to access submenus by scrolling will jump you to a completely different menu, once the DPI scale is different from 1. Other issues at DPI scale different from 1, like ill-separated, i.e., too big line spacings in all windows, and strange streaks across the menu bars and other graphics elements are only minor nuisances as compared to the broken menus.
Repeated such experiences leave me at suppressing Wayland for Spyder with export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb; spyder, whenever running under Wayland ... which likely will not work forever ...
So, pls., keep up your good work also in times of Wayland.
Thank you!
