Public bug reported:
Hi,
My name is Lars Dammann and I'm an applications engineer at COMSOL
Multiphysics, a company that makes commercial software for numerical
simulation. Recently, we have seen many reports by our users that our
log window breaks on Ubuntu 20.04 and we tracked the problem down to
texlive. So, installing texlive somehow breaks our log window. We were
able to reproduce this on a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu
20.04 in a VM: Install COMSOL on the fresh install and it works fine,
install texlive and it breaks, uninstall texlive again and it works fine
again. Our software does not use texlive and does not have any relation
to texlive at all. The affected widget is a SWT text box and uses a
Courier font. Our development has no idea how the presence of texlive
could mess with our text widget, but they do not have time to
investigate further. I'm acting on my own in trying to figure out what
the problem is.
I would like to bring this to the attention of the texlive community, in
case someone of you has some idea what we could do to fix this. We
suspect that it is a bug in the texlive package. Please note that this
is only a problem on Ubuntu 20.04 but not Ubuntu 18.04. I'm sorry if
this is not the right place to ask this question. I'm not very familiar
with this kind of problem. I kindly ask your advice in this matter.
Best wishes
Lars
