Bug Description

In the history view, the area in the lower right of the window that should show a commit's author information, hash, and code changes is not shown. Instead the lower right area of the screen where this info should appear just contains the grey background color. The left pane showing branches and tags and the upper right pane showing the history graph are present and work fine.

I am running on Kubuntu and I didn't have the gnome desktop environment installed. After I installed the 'gnome' package, gitg started to work correctly even when used from within KDE. So I suspect there is a missing dependency on some component of Gnome.

system: Kubuntu 15.04
package version: gitg 3.15.1-0ubuntu2

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Could you check whether gir1.2-peas-1.0 was among the packages installed as part of gnome? I believe this is a duplicate of bug 1446746.

I guess I'm a bit late with replying, but at least gir1.2-peas-1.0 is installed on my system now, so this can very well be a duplicate of bug 1446746

selex: This particular issue should be fixed in the version of gitg available in 16.04. If you look at the screenshot in bug 1446746, is it only the commit details missing as there? Also, if you have a screenshot for comparison that would be great.

Installing the gir1.2-peas-1.0 library fixed the original issue, could you please double-check if you have this package installed? If it is installed, you may have run into a similar, but unrelated issue.

Jan: Thanks for responding. Great to hear things are working.

I'm leaning towards that this issue can be marked fixed, but I'll wait for the response above to be able to say if that's the same issue or not.
