Description
Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?
PDE
Processing version
4.4.8
Operating system
Raspbian Bookworm 64-bit, Raspbian Trixie 64-bit
Bug description
The "Save As..." menu option normally opens a file dialog to pick file to save the sketch into. This does not render correctly (see attached screenshot) and is not usable to perform the action.
Steps to reproduce this
-
Start a new sketch
-
Attempt to save it via File->Save As...
-
Observe un-rendered/corrupted file dialog window
snippet
// Paste your code below :)
void setup() {
}
void draw() {
}
Additional context
- Possibly related to #1243
- This could also possibly be linked to issue #1087 as the window is broken in a different visual way depending on whether Wayland or X11 is used.

Research direction
Start by reproducing File->Save As... in the PDE on Raspbian Bookworm and Trixie, checking the related Wayland and X11 behavior described in issues #1243 and #1087. Trace the PDE file-dialog path and compare the rendering in each session type. Done means the dialog renders correctly and is usable for saving a sketch on the affected Raspberry Pi setups.
