Is it just me or has the Master Effects control interface for the Zita reverb disappeared?

JUst tried again with a fresh build of 4e426c4808eb432bc7ee8682ee718b60c4972506
Also did a Factory reset
Still no interface.....

I think it could be something similar to what I saw here: #22465: Blank artifacts when using qml objects
But in recent builds everything looks ok in my builds & in the Nightly builds (I tried Windows Nightly builds), and I was considering closing the bug report. It started to behave properly with the switch to Qt 5.3 and some minor recent adjustments to the plugin interface.
Do you see the Zita and noeffect boxes when all plugin (in the plugin menù) are disabled?
Which version of Qt are you using? (in my build I am using Qt 5.3.1 and in Nightly builds it is at least Qt 5.3.0 for Windows)
In reply to qml objects by ABL
I'm on Qt 5.3.0 atm
I've no plugins loaded so I don't see how QML can be causing it.

Confirmed, git 4e426c4, Windows 8.1u1 64-bit, Qt 5.3.1

So - is it just a Windows 8 thing?
Or are other Windows versions affected?
Be handy to know before a report in the issue tracker.

I am going to test on a Win7 64-bit VM under Hyper-V. Standby...
In reply to So - is it just a Windows 8 by ChurchOrganist
I managed to reproduce with Nightly build 4e426c4 under Windows 8.1.
Just after a factory reset you see the blank boxes, but if you load even one single plugin in the menu (i.e. activating it via the plugin manager), at next MuseScore restart (so that the plugin from the menu plugin is registered at startup) the master-effect tab behaves as expected.
It seems that the situation is now reversed to what I saw in #22465: Blank artifacts when using qml objects.

And here is the debug output when launching in the situation in which the boxes are blank (i.e. no plugin loaded):

Before the recent changes in the plugin I was seeing the "no root object for" message only for NoEffect (which then was replaced by a blank box) when at least one plugin was enabled.

Confirmed under Windows 8.1. Once I enabled the "break" plugin and restarted, the Master Effect controls are showing.
I cannot _ever_ get MS to run from inside a Hyper-V VM of Windows 7, it crashes on the splash screen with a c0000005 error. I wonder if it's because I cannot install a proper video driver as Hyper-V doesn't allow that.
In reply to Confirmed under Windows 8.1. by schepers
Yes - loading the break plugin fixed it :)
Do we need to create an issue?
Or just add this foible to the documentation?
In reply to Yes - loading the break by ChurchOrganist
I would think an issue. There's something not being initialized/loaded that is being done when plugins are used.
I'm setting up Windows 7 in a different VM (Oracle Virtualbox) to see if I can get MS to work there.
In reply to Yes - loading the break by ChurchOrganist
We could report this in #22465: Blank artifacts when using qml objects which is basically the same bug as this, as it was before the Qt updates and the (minor) changes in the plugin framework.
I would say that it is better to fix it, than just update the documentation :-)
Probably it could be fixed by shifting part of the code used when loading registered plugins inside musescore.cpp, but personally I understand very little of the plugin framework (and I find it also difficult to debug).
In reply to Better to fix it, of course :-) by ABL
I tried this under Windows 7 32-bit in VirtualBox. Even enabling the Break plugin, the Master Effects controls never showed.
In reply to Better to fix it, of course :-) by ABL
Issue #28776: Master effects interface disappears (when no plugins loaded) - Windows created.
Thought it was better to create a new issue rather than muddy the old one.
In reply to Issue #28776: Master effects by ChurchOrganist
The problem with Windows 7 inside VirtualBox can be of different nature.
I tried with Win XP inside VirtualBox and master effects were blank, even with the break plugin loaded in the menu, as seen by schepers; however, also the break plugin was showing as a blank box when I launched it.
The debug output in the console was full of errors related to OpenGL. In particular OpenGL was not found and the shader could not be launched.
See also here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20530157/issue-with-compiling-qtquic…
An example log is attached of what I saw.
I then closed the virtual machine and re-launched it having switched on the "Enable 3D acceleration" checkbox under Display inside the Preferences for the Win XP virtual machine (guest additions installed).
See: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-3d
The behavior became as the one seen in my "real" Win 8.1 machine.
[Actually, there was a difference: the dropdown menus in the master effect were rendered behind the zita or noeffect panels, so it was a little difficult to change effect]
