BZ 1637: Mac Problem: Fullscreen mode overflows screen

Curtis · 06-23-2008, 03:23 PM

When in fullscreen mode the bottom part of the screen, including the toolbar, is cut off. This actually seemed like a welcome return to the 2006 interface, which I much preferred to 2007/8, but when trying to play out games, the buttons to start the game are offscreen. In previous versions running in windowed mode caused CTD problems, so I'm really hesitant to try that here.

Huh. Weird. I'm not having this problem.

I'm using 1280 by 960 resolution. I see that if I go to widowed mode, that isn't one of the available options. Could that be part of it? I would think that would be more likely to overflow the screen to the right, since the 1280 by options I saw were less than 960 for height, so if it was adjusting to a 960 height it should be more than 1280 wide.

Another thing that has shown up is that if the help viewer is viewed using the ingame browser it DOES overflow the popup window to the right. If viewed using the out of game browser there are no pictures, but the text stays on the screen (and it's much larger and a more readable type).

Presumably, but would you like me to log this?

Well, since this IS a serious problem, yes, please.

Okay. As you stated, I also don't see this listed as a supported resolution, but I've logged it as BZ 1637.

Thank you. I should point out that this didn't happen in any previous version of the game.
