It's the case for me too with the 3.5 Beta AppImage (Linux / Debian / Buster), but not in my development build. SO I guess some sort of issue with a shared library or something, probably having to do with OpenGL support.

Both 3.5beta and 3.4.2 AppImage work fine on openSUSE 15.1. I'm running KDE, and I can remember Ubuntu is Gnome, I'm right? This might be a dependency??

Title Time signature properties are just showing a black box ⇒ AppImage doesn't store the correct wallpaper filename for Background and Paper
Frequency Once ⇒ Few
Workaround No ⇒ Yes

When running an AppImage and setting Paper and/or Background to Wallpaper and this wallpaper is part of the AppImage, the wallpaper is stored as an absolute path, containing the mount point of the AppImage. However, the next time the AppImage is started, it will have another mount point and the files are not found. As a result the background of Note Groups of the Time Signature Properties form becomes black.
Work-around is choosing a color for the Paper.

As a matter of fact, this are 2 issues:
- 1 When running MuseScore as an AppImage and choosing a wallpaper from that AppImage, the file is not found at a next run because the mount point is different.
- 2 When a wallpaper for the foreground is not found, the score view falls back to white but the example view (as use for showing the note groups in the Time Signature Form) falls back on black, which happens to foreground too.

Status PR created ⇒ fixed

Fixed in branch 3.x, commit 8e5b23294c

_Fix #306832 - AppImage doesn't store the correct wallpaper filename for Background and Paper

Resolves https://musescore.org/en/node/306832 (partially)

When for the foreground a wallpaper is selected but the file is not found, ScoreView
falls back on the foreground color white. However, in ExampleView, the foreground
fgColor wasn't set so it falls back on the default color black.
Now the default foreground color of ExampleView is also set to white.
