5.1.1 fullscreen bug
Hello
I've just updated to 5.1.1 and have noticed that fullscreen on a jit.window (with fsmenubar disabled) now results in a fullscreen window that's actually 1 pixel too small height wise. In other words, looking at the bottom of the window, the whole row of pixels are actually from my desktop and not black.
Just in case:
OS X 10.6, Max 5.1.1

Thanks for the message, and sorry for the inconvenience. This is a known issue. It is a workaround for what appears to be a bug in Snow Leopard's window compositing engine and an older method of defining custom windows. If the window fills the whole screen without any overlapping windows, framerate drops to roughly 2-4fps, which I believe is worse than the single pixel strip. For situations where this pixel strip isn't acceptable, I would recommend using a black background image, or using Leopard for the time being.
In 5.1.2, we hope to have a more robust fix for this limitation in Snow Leopard. Thanks for your patience.

Or using 5.0.8
Is there any chance of a small update soon that would disable this if glreadback is set to fbo? Seeing as the problem only occurs when readback is rtt. Just an idea, but I guess if you're working on a better fix for the next update it's not really a huge issue.

That only solved specific cases of the problem with framerate, and introduced other issues, especially on lesser GPUs. There won't be any updates until 5.1.2, which should have none of these problems. The current workaround was in our opinion the least bad choice for an interim release.
In the meantime, you are welcome to use @border 0 @rect 0 0 width height, with ;jitter glreadback fbo and ;max hidemenubar, if that is what you want to do.

Oh thanks for that, I'll give that a blast for now!
