robinp Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I keep finding unexpected behaviours when working with an external display plugged into my MacBook Pro. I really get the feeling that perhaps not much testing has been done on this or similar set ups. This applies to all three apps if I'm honest. Just the most recent example was one I experiences with Published. Often popup windows or panels appear on the screen other than the one being used. The latest one was that the text frame settings panel appeared on my MacBooks display rather than the external one I was working on. I tried to adjust the colour using the colour wheel but the colour would not change. I moved the panel to the same display as the one being used for publisher and immediately it started working. Interestingly, when then moving the panel back to the MacBook display it carried on working as expected. Another recent one was the other day I was using Designer and on one display the artboards started showing as much smaller than they should be, with the artwork appearing to incorrectly extend far beyond the limits even though. Moving the window between displays and then back again resolved this issue. Could they be related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinp Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Here's an example. BTW, the drag and drop upload isn't working on the forum. I had to go through the dialogue to get this to upload @MEB What you're seeing on this video, is the Text Frame panel on my MacBook Pro built in display. The Publisher document is open on my 27" external display. It is repeatable. Screen Recording 2020-02-12 at 11.21.59.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrettm30 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I don't think you're the only one. A few others have talked about quirky 2-screen behavior around here. robinp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that dual displays would be a pretty common set up for users of the affinity apps and would warrant a decent amount of testing.
