Affinity Photo V2.2.0 - “Full Screen” bug @ app start up when previously closed from “Full Screen”

Issue - apparent “Full Screen” bug @ app start up when previously closed from “Full Screen”

– What Application are you using? macOS Ventura 13.5.2

– Are you using the latest release version? Yes, Affinity Photo 2.2.0

– Can you reproduce it? Yes

Hi, since I downloaded & installed the Affinity Photo 2.2.0 software upgrade (when it became available yesterday - Wed, Sep 20th), there is an apparent & repeatable "bug" @ app start up. When I close Affinity Photo 2.2.0 while in "Full" screen mode & then restart for another editing session, the app window opens to a "quirky" full screen window where it "creeps" under the top Mac menu bar & under my dock @ the bottom of the screen. If I remember to toggle out of "full" screen mode before I close Affinity Photo, at restart, Affinity Photo will open to the non "full" screen window as expected.

Fyi, when I encounter the "quirky" full screen window, I reposition the window on my screen by dragging the entire window down an inch or so, I can then resize the window so it fits within the confines of the top Apple menu bar & my dock. When I reposition the desired resized app window, the top edge will "snap" to the bottom edge of the Apple menu bar and go no further (it will not "creep" under the top Apple menu bar); and when I finish resizing the bottom of the app window to my dock, it will "snap" to the top edge of my dock and go no further (it will not "creep" under my dock).

As I mentioned earlier, when I remember to toggle out of "full" screen mode before I close Affinity Photo, at restart Affinity Photo will open to the non "full" screen window as expected. This is the first time I have encountered this "bug" since moving to Affinity Photo v2 at the end of last year. It's not a huge deal but it's rather annoying. I like it when things work as expected. LoL! I hope you can fix this "bug" in a future update. And btw, I am very happy w/my choice to move from the "elephant in the room" to Affinity Photo! Your wonderful software has brought a lot of joy to my photography journey! Thanks, Affinty Photo!

Best regards, SteveO

Hi @SteveOPSPand Welcome to the Forums,

This is something we are already aware of and have logged with the Developers to resolve.

I've left a link on that report back to this thread so we can update you when it has been resolved.

Similar problem here. Whenever I plug out my external 4k monitor (BenQ Design Vue PD Series, Thunderbolt to MacBook Pro 16'', 2019, macOS Ventura 13.6 build 22G120) and relaunch Publisher 2.2 on my internal MBP screen, my workspace looks like this. This is really a problem. Please fix.

Ahh … I see what the problem is. Publisher 2.2 seems to open at the external screen’s resolution and does not understand that it plays now on a smaller field. When I grab the corner of the window frame and resize it, everything gets back to normal. Thank goodness there is a workaround, but the bug is still mildly annoying.

So it’s probably a slightly different problem than the one of the OP. Please split this thread if useful.
