BUG! NSColorPikerUser/NXColorPickerSliders menus appears randomly in my patch.
Mar 09 2012 | 5:33 pm
Hi
Before Max 6.0.4 was systematically (after some time) using jit.gl.material or inspector on an object.
Incredible! before finishing this post I go into fullscreen in my patch and NXColorPickerSliders menu appears.
If I move up to the NXColorPickerSliders my Mac no longer works for 10 seconds!!

- Oct 01 2012 | 2:33 pmAfter a session with the Physics patch-a-day series of tutorials, hence working with materials, worlds, etc, I also get a number of these windows. I'm on Max 6.0.7 on OSX 10.8.2
- Oct 02 2012 | 3:49 pmme too 6.0.7 going fullscreen

- Oct 04 2012 | 3:22 pmcan anyone confirm if this problem only happens when there is a secondary display connected?
- May 05 2013 | 9:48 amHello Rob NSColorPikerUser - NXColorPickerSliders BUG is always with Max 6.1.2 I confirm that this problem occurs only when there is a secondary display connected.Sorry for the late reply. LLT
- May 05 2013 | 10:13 amSame here, I have a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 (not the retina) without any secondary display (Max 6.1.2).
- May 28 2013 | 6:40 amThis has been happening to me as well. Possibly related to fullscreen mode.. possibly related to viewing some of the jitter examples.max 6.1.2 (6a3e522) (32-bit)macbook pro 2.6 Core i7 OS X 10.8.3no secondary display
- May 28 2013 | 8:05 amSame here 6.1.2, osx 10.8.3, working on video through openGL. Also happened with some previous versions but can't tell which ones. But unlike the OP, the window is blank, just the window title.
- Dec 13 2013 | 2:57 pmhello, always the same problem with mac os 10.9 and max 6.1.6. One monitor or two monitors is the same.LLT
- Oct 11 2017 | 10:24 pmHi, I come from the future in 2017 when I work on a mac, with OS update versions it happens again !!! the new, now empty patch windows! I noticed that the thing happens with an application compiled Max standalone. As if the sub patch opened when it has load cpu (maybe), to say helloLaurent
