Weird rendering issue on Windows (blank node icons)

I have the same issue. Tested on two different Windows 11 Machines.
I have attached a screenshot from the icon test app.

When i compile your SVG Example from the ofxLaser Addon there are also issues with the display of the SVGs (on Windows).

How strange that it’s different icons missing for each of you!

  • If you run it multiple times is it always the same icons that are missing ?
  • Are there any messages / errors in the console?

Can you please try this new version ?

IconTest2.zip

Let me know what happens! And thank you for this. What a strange bug!

Here is the result of Icon Test 2.
If I run it multiple times, sometimes more icons are shown. But never all of them.

So weird! Is there any output in the console window? (It might be behind the app)

287 times “parse failed” - Statements

New version should look like this :

Note the output in the console as well.

Can you copy paste the entire console output message please?

New test version three! IconTest3!

Output should be the same as icontest1. Let me know console output please!

Thank you all so much for helping me hunt down this super weird issue.

Can’t open Icontest3 because virus detected?
( Trojan:Script/Sabsik.FL.A!ml )

It’s a false positive, ignore it if you can! Otherwise I have to upload it to Microsoft for verification ugh

Thank you. Can you also confirm that different icons fail every time you run it?

When I first opened iconest2 the last icon on the top row also appeared. the following times I tried (different tests): always just those same as in my screenshot

Could you try deleting the icon that fails? And then re running it? I think it’s the particle one. Have a look in the data/icons folder. Thanks!

Yes, this is the result when Particle deleted.

Huh so it seems that when it fails on one it fails on the rest. Can you keep going? Delete the next one that fails. Shimmer?

There is no logic. this is the result when DMX Value, Particles, Shimmer, Trails, Custom Oscillator deleted. So no errors, but only sometimes…

I have a weird hunch - I assume your system is not set to English - could you try changing it to English and see if it makes any difference?

Also it seems that the icons that fail are the newest ones so much be something that changed. I will look into that as well. Just weird that it’s only failing on some systems, I thought that all the SVG parsing code was not system dependent!

Ok. I’ll try if I manage to change the language. I also make this test: Original Particles.svg deleted and I made copy of Rotate.svg → opened that copy with notepad and I wrote Particles.svg in the code and saved as Particles.svg… now it shows twice. Could the problem be with some of the icons themselves if just tries to redo them all?
