Problem Description
Same problem as https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/16178 but on 5.1.5.
After upgrading to 5.1.5, everything was fine for a couple of weeks and then this graphical problem with the files tabs and the editor drop down menus appeared out of the blue (possibly after a apt update or a conda update --all ?). I rolled back to 5.0.5 through Anaconda Navigator but the issue persisted (and I never had this problem on 5.0.5 before).
I don’t know if that’s relevant but I had trouble upgrading from 5.0.5 to 5.1.5 and this worked for me.
Preferences > Appearance > Interface theme is set on Automatic (follows Ubuntu dark theme), setting it on Dark doesn’t change anything, and Light is broken as well even if less apparent.
Edit:
Just noticed the console scroll bar is affected too.

Alright, for those of you who ran into the same problem and don’t want to reinstall 25GB of packages, I came up with this (not recommended) fix: I downgraded pyqt and qt to the main channel versions (
pyqt 5.12.3 conda-forge -> 5.9.2 mainandqt 5.12.5 conda-forge -> 5.9.7 main) with the following commands:Beware, you will lose some packages in the process, but nothing too bad. In my case, I just had to reinstall the following:
I actually didn’t bother reinstalling opencv as there are currently known compatibility issues (https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9367). Apart from that, everything seems to be working fine and the graphical problems are gone.
