You ave the response. For me OpenGL under Linux is a shame. The
interface to Graphics card is a big puzzle. It will nerver work
properlly like this.

Look like the DirectX interface work better under M$ Os. We need
something like that under Linux.

This is why i never use OpenGL on my computer and i not agree to
implement OpenGL support in digiKAm core. For the moment, it's a waste
of time.

Best
