Nice description! Can you tell us what Qt version you have compiled against? Maybe pasetbin the configure.log somewhere (maybe PM on IRC in case you care about privacy).

You have probably compiled against Qt4. Qt4 is no longer supported (actively maintained) for Bitcoin-Core. Try to install Qt5.

We should maybe refuse compiling against Qt4.

Compiling with Qt5 now - this is probably it. Thanks for the quick response!

We should maybe refuse compiling against Qt4.

Hmm, #8263 mentions that we still support qt4 to some extend. However, if things are know to be broken and no one maintains/tests them, it would be better to disable qt4 right now.

Confirming that tabs work on Qt5.

@JornC Can you help troubleshoot this more? Was your initial build in a pre-existing git clone, or a fresh one? Did you make clean before the problem build? Did you use the same checkout when you recompiled with Qt5?

@Luke-Jr

• It was a preexisting clone. Fetched and checked out on the 0.13tag.
• I did not make clean before building the problem build, though I don't think I compiled on that repo before. (Originally cloned a couple months ago)
• Used same checkout on working Qt5 build and did make clean on this build.

I will do another compilation attempt on qt4 and report back whether the problem can be reproduced as soon as I get back to the machine in question (2 hours)

@luke-jr I cannot reproduce it, reattempted Qt4 build works.

The config.logs are identical in the non-working Qt4 build and working Qt4 build, so I'm guessing this was some fluke because there was no make clean - though I'm quite confident I didn't make on that repo before.
