What's new in 4.1rc3 (2026-Apr-08 10:31): table: fix warnings printed in app output; table: try to fix Windows on ARM rendering issues; ui: fix Cancel button focus in file transfer progress dialog; WinBox files for Windows, Linux and macOS are available here: https://download.mikrotik.com/router…

Now that middle-mouse-button directly pastes the buffer into terminal, please add a warning when pasting multiple lines of text just like several terminal programs for Windows and Linux already do: the content of the buffer is displayed in a dialog with “paste” and “cancel” buttons, so you are remin…

[image] vovan700i: WinBox 3 isn't an ARM64-native app either, but it works/looks fine on the same platform. WInBox 3 uses the old GDI API for rendering plus the standard Win32 controls and dialogs provided by COMCTL32.DLL, COMDLG32.DLL, here are the direct dependencies: [image] So very old…

[image] pe1chl: please add a warning when pasting Nooo! The whole point of middle click is that it saves time and clicks: double-click or highlight something - select and copy middle-click somewhere else - paste Much faster than having to additionally press Ctrl-C or right-click, find "co…

[image] sinisa: Nooo Terminals ask the question only when the text you want to paste contains control characters. So, if you don't want to be asked when somebody tries to inject (potentially malicious) hidden control characters you copied right from some "trustful" source: okay, not everyone …

[image] sinisa: Why would anyone want to slow that down with additional questions? Are you sure that you want to paste? Are you sure that you are sure? Maybe think again? Please solve captcha and enter passkey before paste??? It is only about warning the user if the string in the clipboard co…

Thanks for analysis. The suggested fix won't help. Overall, your approach seems developer-oriented, i.e. you're trying to explain why it doesn't/shouldn't work. While I understand your point, as a WinBox user, I do want it to render its UI correctly on any platform, i.e. whether I take my mac, wind…

[image] vovan700i: The suggested fix won't help. Did you even try: set QSG_RHI_BACKEND=opengl WinBox.exe If that worked for you, that something easier for MikroTik to fix that waiting for ARM64/aarch64 — which is the "real" fix. But MikroTik already sets some these Qt options internally to…

[image] sinisa: Nooo! The whole point of middle click is that it saves time and clicks The dialog can also contain a checkmark to tell that you do not want this kind of warning in the future. But then at least you had the chance to be warned for bad data to paste and you can blame only your…

[image] Amm0: Did you even try: Yes, I did, and it wouldn't help. The UI issues persisted. For information, I also tried set QSG_RHI_BACKEND=vulkan and set QSG_RHI_BACKEND=d3d12, and WinBox couldn't even draw it's login screen, while set QSG_RHI_BACKEND=opengl simply made no change at all co…

[image] vovan700i: QSG_RHI_BACKEND Last possibility for a workaround would be trying QSG_RHI_PREFER_SOFTWARE_RENDERER=1 which can help if the rendering issue is caused by a broken graphics driver.
