(Archived) Mac Client - Clipping Inaccurate

[firefox90 0]

Every time I try taking a screen clipping and setting my own size, it starts the clip from the top of the screen. The horizontal position is right, but the vertical position is way off and makes clipping unusable. Advice? Thanks guys!

I just tried this on my MacBook, and it seems to clip correctly. Is there anything unusual about your Mac setup? Are you using multiple monitors, etc.?

I am using multiple monitors. Is there a bug with multiple monitors? Any temporary fix?

Do you get this problem trying to clip from both monitors? What's the orientation of your monitors? I.e. is the "primary" display (with the menubar) to the left or the right of the other one (or top/bottom)?

It looks like we might not handle multiple monitors completely correctly, although I can't reproduce your exact problem ... in my case, I just can't clip from my secondary monitor (which is to the left of my primary).

Thanks for the feedback ... we'd like to track this down and get it fixed.

I have the same setup as you. My Macbook is acting as the secondary monitor to the left of my primary monitor will all of the menu stuff. I can't even clip from the secondary display. Thanks for your help!

I think we've tracked down the problem, and it's definitely related to multiple displays ... but it seems to depend on the relative vertical layout, which is the primary, etc.

Anyway, I think we've fixed the problem for the next build (which should be pushed out via auto-update in about 2 weeks).

Thanks again

Just to add a little info, I did adjust the vertical positions on the monitors. I did not leave them at default. Sounds like you found it. Thanks for the great project and the great support!
