Macos Publisher 2.4.0 beta 2240 - odd visual/UI glitch.

[AP-]

Steps to reproduce:

Maximise the window. Change persona. The persona icons jump to a different position. Restore the window. Icons remain in place and overlap with the window UI icons.

 

 

Video to illustrate.

I can't reproduce this with Sonoma 14.3. The persona icons shift to the left as soon as I maximize.

Which version of macOS are you using? Perhaps the problem is specific to certain versions.

[AP-]

Sonoma 14.2.1.

Will be in the code that determines the relative position of the different items on that strip. If not on your version of macos, the way that Publisher queries window mode change is inconsistent, hence the overlap. At some point the right method is called, and it moves the icons back again. Wonder if there's been an API change in Sonoma which introduced this discrepancy.

Hi @AP-

We have tried this using beta build 2240 on Sonoma 14.2.1 and cannot reproduce the issue.
Does this happen on the release build or any other apps?

I just went and played with all the other apps in the suite. They all exhibit this behaviour on my system. Beta and production 2.3.1 versions.

Video to illustrate:

If you require any other information, happy to try and supply.

@AP-

Can you provide a screen recording of your whole screen whilst doing a Ctrl run-up with the first 2 sections (not deactivate) enabled. Then perform your steps to reproduce the issue.

Thanks @AP-

We've managed to recreate this but only when the highlighted settings below are enabled.
