Spyder 5 menu icons overlap with menu entry label

Question

I recently updated to Spyder 5 via conda update and now i have the following two issues with the IDE:

• Icons of menu entries overlap with the menu entry text

• i can not zoom in / out of plots in the plot pane anymore

What can i do to fix these issues? For the menu icon issue i tried different themes and different settings for the screen resolution, but nothing changed (despite what changed when changing those settings).

This is a bug in version 5.0.0 , and it's resolved in 5.0.1

here is the bug report in github:

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/15116

this update has not packaged in main conda channel, hopefully it will be packaged soon.

meanwhile, you can upgrade it from forge channel :

 conda install -c conda-forge spyder 

but if you want to wait to be tested and update it from main channel , after it became available in main channel you can upgrade it using:

conda install spyder=5.0.1
