Maybe Indeed, it’s been fixed in sid since, at least, 2016-12-02 (when the last dist-upgrasde on my laptop was).

Maybe some library entered testing which fixed this bug? Best regards Uwe signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I've also been having the same issue for quite some time. Today I've noticed that I'm also having it on another computer *and* I've noticed that it seems to be correlated with having rendering issues with kicad ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838631 ). Like Antoni Marcinek uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. I did try to reproduce it on a clean virtual machine, but in that case I wasn't able to see it. Both computers that have this issue are liberated thinkpad x200 with an intel graphic card. I could probably try a fresh install, but I would need to find a spare hard disk (and free time to actually do it), so it will take a few days before I'm able to do so. -- Elena ``of Valhalla''

Hello, I observe the same problem for about the same time with sid. I tried purging gitk,tk,tcl and associated libs, as well as libx11-6 with all dependent packages and reinstalling. None of this allowed to get the functionality back (contrary to Oleg Pudeyev's case). I also tried with new user - gitk is still broken. So there is some system wide problem. Regards, Antoni

Control: tags -1 + moreinfo Control: severity -1 normal I tried to reproduce this by installing a fresh jessie VM in virt-manager with debian-live-8.5.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso, installing gitk, then upgrading the VM to stretch in two parts (apt upgrade; apt full-upgrade), then rebooting. I did not observe a gitk display problem at any point during, between, or after these steps. Do you have a detailed recipe for reliably reproducing this, ideally starting from a known state such as a live CD? Perhaps that is hard, but at least we can distinguish between a user configuration issue and a system configuration issue: can you reproduce on the same system under a freshly created account? Anders

Same issue here, and I agree that this makes gitk just about unusable. The issue seems to affect testing but not stable distribution. Things I tried with no effect: - gitk 2.0 from git source repo - compiling latest stable tcl/tk 8.5 and 8.6 from their websites A fresh stable install works properly. apt-get upgrading and dist-upgrading to testing breaks gitk. However, I then reverted to the stable install and upgraded packages one or a few at a time and was able to upgrade all of them to testing with gitk rendering correctly at the end of the process. It seems that some dependency of gitk/tk/tcl breaks gitk between stable and testing but this breakage is dependent on the order of package upgrades. When gitk breaks it does so without X server restart, suggesting a client side issue.
