Darstellungsproblem mit 2 Monitoren Mac OS X

[Mihafri]

Beim Hauptmonitor 32 Zoll zeigt Publischer das geöffnete Dokument nicht korrekt an, wenn Publisher schon geöffnet war.
Wenn Man Publisher mit einem vorhandenen Dokument neu öffnet ist diese Erscheinung nicht.

Im Anhang ist ein Beispiel des Problems zu sehen …

Hi. I think this may have been reported once already so hopefully Serif is already aware of it and working on the issue.

While you're waiting for a reply from Serif, you might try disabling Metal in Preferences > Performance. Unselect "Enable Metal compute acceleration" and click Close. Restart Publisher. Then go back and change Display from Metal to OpenGL. Click Close and restart again.

You shouldn't have to do this but it might fix this problem. If it doesn't then switch back to Metal because Metal is faster.

Cheers

Das gleiche Problem habe ich ebenfalls.. Außerdem flackert die Darstellung, wenn ich mit der Maus über den Bildschirm fahre. Es ist auch völlig egal, ob ich Metal oder OpenGL einstelle.

Hi, Serif will probably need to know details about your computer and operating system. Which computer model, which operating system version, which monitor(s), etc.

Yes, since upgrading to the latest Version 2.5.6 and 2.5.7, I am experiencing the same flickering issue using a M2 Mac Studio Ultra, macOS Sonoma 14.7.2 and 2 displays connected. It is happening in Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher. Random black and white pixels flickering all over my documents when I move the mouse. It is impossible to work.

UPDATE: As soon as you unplug the second display, flickering disappears. It is bug!

You can install download versions using these links. There were no announced changes in 2.5.7 which could cause this so it might be due to something else. Regardless, please reply back here with the results of reverting to 2.5.6 so that others know.

Good luck

@MikeTO I really appreciate your quick response. Thanks for sharing the archive links.

I reverted back to version 2.5.5. The issue is gone in Affinity Photo.

However the flickering issue still occurs in Affinity Designer 2.5.5. The current workaround is to unplug the second display.
