Also can you check that tutorials/sample-datasets/plot_phantom_4DBTi.py plots correctly in this PR (make some change to it)? On my system the first plot looks like:

And if I click-drag anywhere it gets fixed:

So it seems to just be some update problem here, too.

I'll add it to the list

The 'minimized' rendering issue is reproduced:

Can you reproduce locally with PATTERN=source_alignment make html_dev-pattern? That way you won't have to wait for CircleCI (and use up its cycles).

Some hint at the problem is perhaps that the plain plot_alignment calls are bad, but the one that changes the view looks good. So somehow that view-setting call fixes things.

I tried and I do not reproduce with my usual desktop manager. A similar environment is probably building on a TTY with a running xvfb though.

qt_disable_paint is definitely related to the issue somehow:

Apparently fixed with Update&Process :

@GuillaumeFavelier we are also seeing some problems on CircleCI for main:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is this a PyVista bug with their scraper?

So far these both look good at least!

Is this a PyVista bug with their scraper?

Hm... probably 🤔

I'm still trying to figure out where this comes from. AFAIK, self.image is a property of BasePlotter, I don't understand why the scraper complains.

Okay well I'll merge this once CIs come back happy, feel free to open a new PR for that error

Will do

Thanks @GuillaumeFavelier !
