Menu bar spacing issue in Publisher2 and Photo2 on MacBook Pro with notch

[gogolek]

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro with a notch and noticed that in Affinity Publisher2 and Affinity Photo2, the top menu bar items like "Window" and "Help" are shifted far to the right with a large space between them and the rest of the menu.
This does not happen in Affinity Designer2, where everything looks normal.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks.

Hi @gogolek and welcome to the forums. This is not an issue and is the way macOS is supposed to work if there are too many menu headings to fit to the left of the notch.

It doesn't happen in Designer and Photo for you only because the menu headings are narrower and happen to fit on your screen. Keep in mind that you could change your Display Settings to increase or decrease the effective resolution of your monitor, so the menu headings might not fit if you changed the resolution.

Publisher has more menus and they're wider so it doesn't fit on your screen. Affinity has no idea if the menu headings are split by the notch, this is an automatic feature of macOS. Most of us quickly got used to this when we bought MacBooks with notches, so hopefully it won't bother you for very long.

Further to what @MikeTO has explained. You can see how many more menu items there are in Photo and Publisher.

 Thanks @MikeTO and @Old Bruce for the explanation! I normally work on a large external monitor, but I'm currently on vacation and was checking something on the laptop — that's why I was surprised and decided to ask.
Cheers!
