Still no release date for Windows?

Hello @Mark_Young! Still in the works :slight_smile:

LOLZ , your Debian bookworm package is cocked up , it installs the ubuntu xenial repo then on the next update the binary is replaced with the ubuntu’s one ttaht crashes, some basic QA wont hurt

Hi @Unixware

We have the default repo set to Ubuntu 16.04 if the distro being installed on is not Ubuntu/Debian/PopOS/Zorin/Neon. We’ll update this on our next release to default to the build distro/version instead

Thank you for the feedback!

Mouse Pointer Scaling Issue Still Unresolved in Insync 3.9.6 under X11 HiDPI

Dear Insync Team,

Thank you for the security improvements introduced in Insync 3.9.6.

However, I would like to report that the mouse pointer display issue introduced in version 3.9.5 remains unresolved in this new release when running under X11 on HiDPI displays.

Specifically:

  • When hovering over system widgets (outside Insync content of the window), the mouse pointer appears correctly scaled.

  • As soon as the pointer enters the Insync window content (including menus), it shrinks dramatically, becoming disproportionately small and difficult to see.

To illustrate this, I am attaching four screenshots:

As someone who interacts with the Insync graphical interface multiple times daily, these pointer scaling issues have a significant negative impact on usability and comfort.

While I appreciate the importance of improving application security, I believe that ensuring a consistent and ergonomic user experience is just as critical—especially for an application that provides a graphical interface for daily operations.

Given the growing share of HiDPI displays nowadays, I respectfully encourage your development team to thoroughly validate the visual consistency and usability of Insync across different configurations—including HiDPI displays with both Xorg and Wayland on Linux—before releasing an update.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards.

@aaclps Thank you so much for your detailed report + feedback! I have alerted our engineers regarding this so we can ensure that this issue is addressed in the next release.

This seems to have fixed several issues I’ve been having including incomplete feed.

Great to hear, @Bill_Miller! Let me forward this to our engineers. That is one of the issues we are working on right now as it still seems to be a bit inconsistent across the board.
