after loading catv4 on a mac and launching it, after it finished booting into full screen on both outputs, there was a definite visible line at the top of output 2 screen that went away when I toggled out of and back into full screen mode
after loading catv4 on a mac and launching it, after it finished booting into full screen on both outputs, there was a definite visible line at the top of output 2 screen that went away when I toggled out of and back into full screen mode
a visible line is not the same as a menu bar.
the 'line' are OS wierdness and went away a long time ago in some os update or other.
some kindof single pixel misalignment in the graphics.
which OS is this running in?
which software version did you use?
the menu bar seems to appear if another application is launched - or brings a window to the front - while catalyst is loading.
multiple applications can be launched from the startup items folder at pretty much the exact same time.
it is not the usual behaviour for a launching application to keep itself hidden.
when the other application launches it opens a window which can come in front of catalyst.
the OS keeps track of application which are and are not using full screen mode.
This is not a software bug -- in catalyst. the workaround involves a trick - it is not a bug.

I do understand now though the difference in what was originally reported here as a menu bar.. I thought maybe this was related to that, so thanks for clarifying the difference.

which OS?Originally Posted by Vickie_C
10.3.3, was that a trick question? it was in my quote..
trick? no just my misreading.Originally Posted by Vickie_C
10.3.3 is very very old. i think the line problem is in the os.
its quicktime not erasing the screen correctly when going into fullscreen mode.
i dont have any machines that run 10.3.3
