No GUI shown with compiled julia app using CImGui

[sairus7]

I have compiled an app using CImGui, but it doesn't show anything in main window:

Compilation script:

julia --project=@. --startup-file=no -e '
using PackageCompiler;
PackageCompiler.create_app(pwd(), "MyProjectCompiled";
    cpu_target="generic;sandybridge,-xsaveopt,clone_all;haswell,-rdrnd,base(1)",
    precompile_execution_file=["test/runtests.jl"])
'

Entrypoint:

function julia_main()::Cint
    try
        state = AppData()
        t = Renderer.render(
            ()->ui(state),
            width=500,
            height=500,
            title=""
        )
        wait(t)
    catch
        Base.invokelatest(Base.display_error, Base.catch_stack())
        return 1
    end
    return 0 # if things finished successfully
end

Any ideas why this can happen?
I'll try to make an MWE for this and link it below.

LOL, compiled MWE app shows GUI, but it is faded:

MWE for this issue, I've run it on Windows:

Does the JIT-ed version look good?

Does the JIT-ed version look good?

When I work from REPL, it looks good:

julia> using CImGuiApp

julia> show_gui()
Task (runnable) @0x00000000b8047270

[sairus7]

On Ubuntu it is completely invisible:

Similar problem. Mine does not open. A GUI appears for half a second and crashes

I don't have that line in my code so I assume it's from CImGui itself

Which version?

I have the same problem when I work with 1.82.0. It works well with 1.79.1.

I just tried https://github.com/sairus7/CImGuiApp.jl.
First time deploy/compile_app.sh segfaulted during package compilation with (but that may be a fluke with 1.9 beta):

[10478] signal (11.1): Segmentation fault

But then I just re-ran it second time and everything worked fine

Does this error happen with https://github.com/sairus7/CImGuiApp.jl or with something else?

I tried https://github.com/sairus7/CImGuiApp.jl and found julia 1.8.5 would reproduce this problem and 1.9.0beta4 not. But as for my app, there is a bug report when I run my .exe compiled through 1.9.0beta4

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

The bug I met was caused by other reasons. My app now can be compiled successfully through julia 1.9.0beta4.

I had the faded GUI issue with julia 1.8.5. I upgraded to 1.9.0 and I was able to compile successfully as well
