Polynom 1.0 is coming closer and closer to release, and this page is being updated to reflect known issues with the upcoming release.
Public Demo 5 was released on 2023-12-22. You can check the changelog to see what is new and what bugs have been fixed since the last release.
Please bear with us as we incorporate a huge number of breaking changes on the road to our 1.0 release. This means that it will be some time before the next release of Polynom. We're looking forward to sharing those changes with you!
¶ Android Issues
- Waiting on an upstream fix: There is a QT 6.6.x bug effecting the GBoard keyboard on API 34 (Android 14) that prevents users from selecting a suggested spelling correction. It is best not to use GBoard until this is resolved. There are many third party (non Google) keyboards available, and all we have tested work.
- copy/paste of URLs from safari browser into Polynom does not work. (Other browsers fine)
As always, please submit feedback, suggestions, and bugs to the Feedback/Support channel on public.polynom.app.
A number of minimalist distros are missing the xcb library that polynom needs to run, resulting in crashing on start up. These include: Mint Linux (cinnamon desktop), Pop!OS, openSuse, Kali & Kali Purple, Kodachi Linux, etc.
Please install the xcb library for your distro and try again:
- apt install libxcb-cursor0
- zypper install libxcb-cursor0
- dnf install xcb-util-cursor
- Polynom opened all broken looking! Workaround: Maximize the window to snap it back into shape.
- I want a tray icon and menu for Gnome desktop. (This is not really a workaround; it's an addition)
- Fixed in 1.0: Copy functions (copy hash, copy full text delegate, etc.) work, but pasting them does not. Use Ctrl-V to paste as a workaround
- Fixed in 1.0: System sounds (voip sounds, notifications, etc) do NOT work #1770 VoIP calls do work!
- NOT fixed in 1.0: Frameless titlebar can cause strange behavior when opening from minimized or when moving the window on the desktop - different weirdness in different distros #1157
- Fixed in 1.0: Highlight some text, right-click copy does NOT work, other distros do work #1853
