Strange Sceen Size on a Mac
« on: November 13, 2020, 10:02:28 am »
I've got a strange screen size on my mac.

I can't input any files, because the working area is too small.

I have tried to readjust the screen size, but that isn't working.

Please see attached screen shot.

Thanks,

FellippeHeitor

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Please confirm that the latest development build also gives you the same result. If it doesn't work, I'll give you extra instructions.

Thanks for your time!

I'm afraid I have the same result though.  Assume it is because of the retina screen, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Bob

Hello, again. Yes, it's due to the check we do for Retina or 5K displays - which needs to be fixed but all I can do for now is work in the dark, as I don't own a high-dpi display myself.

Before we continue - please make sure you've unpacked the development build to a fresh folder - not on top of the previous version - and ran the setup script again.

That said, if it still doesn't work as expected, let's go to the next step. Hope you're comfortable making changes to the source. Please follow the instructions in https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/issues/83#issuecomment-727104586
