Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
The result of some modules differs visibly in the main window dependent on HQP on or off. I used the D&S module, preset local contrast -> quick.
The issue is independent of the use of openCL..
- start darktable, ensure HQP is off, close again
- start again from terminal window with -d perf
- open image
- turn HQP on -> image changes visibly, in the terminal you see that a pipe run was triggered
- turn HPQ off -> image does not change back, not a single line is written into the terminal (no pipe run). The toggle itself changes to inactive state/greyed though.
With release 5.6.0, after step 5 the image changes back, and you can see a pipe run in the terminal.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the D&S module's “local contrast -> quick” preset, HQP toggling, and -d perf, comparing the behavior with darktable 5.6.0. Trace why enabling HQP triggers a pipe run while disabling it does not; done means the image updates back and a corresponding pipe run is shown after HQP is turned off.
