Thanks for the report! Could you please start RedNotebook from the terminal and paste the output here?

I found that using:
env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 rednotebook
seems to work around the issue, and I'm able to see previews again.

@stevet11
where should this command be entered?

[jendrikseipp]

@LeoDariox You can paste this command into a terminal window (Applications->Terminal).

@stevet11 Are you using the deb package or the flatpak version? Are you using Wayland?

[stevet11]

I'm using the Ubuntu PPA deb package. I'm using x11.

[LeoDariox]

Thanks! work fine now!

[Nick222]

I see the same
Xubuntu 24.04
Rednotebook 2.33 deb from PPA

"env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 rednotebook" work OK
