Text is invisible in Desktop app about signal-desktop HOT 7 CLOSED

Thank you for getting back to us! This is a very interesting observation, indeed. Signal Beta and Signal are nearly identical so my guess is that something with the installation of Signal has gone wrong, but for some reason reinstallation doesn't fix it.

I think this might be a corrupted GPU cache issue. Could you close the app, open %AppData%\Signal in the explorer and and rename "GPU Cache" folder to "GPU Cache (Backup)" (or some other name), and then start the app again?

Sweet, I'm going to close this now

Sorry about this. Could you try installing over (without uninstalling) using the installer from the website, please? Please let us know if it helps!

When I opened the desktop app again today, the text returned to some areas:

However, the icons still have issues and the 'About Signal Desktop' window is still missing text (see original screenshots)

After installing over using the installer here (https://signal.org/download/), I don't notice any changes. The issue remains the same

It's not a big inconvenience for me, but it might be affecting others as well

I see... Could you try installing Signal Beta side-by-side and see if it has the same issues?

Thank you!

For sure

I installed Signal Beta, and it does not have the same issues. All the text and icons are showing up as expected.

I'll continue using both in the meantime and see if I notice any changes

That seemed to fix it! Everything is back to normal, and I'm not noticing any other graphical issues.

I still have a copy of the GPUCache (backup) folder, and I'm happy to pass along any other information that could be helpful. Otherwise, thank you for the help!
