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!!

bug-nscolorpikerusernxcolorpickersliders-menus-appears-randomly-in-my-patch

The mysterious menus:NSColorPikerUser - NXColorPickerSliders

I try to reproduce the bug with jit.gl.material.

the mysterious NSColorPikerUser menu is back!!!

Else by selecting randomly dirt.wall or pavement.crackle in jit.gl.material

jit.gl.mesh: unbinding vertex array: GL Error: Invalid operation.

I seem to have much problem with jit.gl.material at home

There is no one to confirm the same problems with jit.gl.material?

Sometimes that menu appears to me too.
I don't know why.

Same here! NXsomething windows without close button.

I observed that menu sometimes appears after I set window fullscreen.

I see 'm appear from time to time as well. Max 6.0.4, OSX 10.7.3

NSColorPikerUser - NXColorPickerSliders BUG

NSColorPikerUser - NXColorPickerSliders BUG
The same with Max 6.0.5 :(

The black bar in fullscreen with umenu
The same with Max 6.0.5 :(


After 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

I used to have this problem but I deleted Max, removed the preferences then reinstalled and I don't have it anymore !

I still have a tiny window appearing at the bottom of my screen though... But it's only once a session.

can anyone confirm if this problem only happens when there is a secondary display connected?

I confirm that this problem occurs only when there is a secondary display connected.

Hello 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.

Same here, I have a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 (not the retina) without any secondary display (Max 6.1.2).

This has been happening to me as well.  Possibly related to fullscreen mode.. possibly related to viewing some of the jitter examples.

Same 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.

hello, always the same problem with mac os 10.9 and max 6.1.6.

hello, always the same problem with mac os 10.9 and max 6.1.6.
One monitor or two monitors is the same.

when I work on a mac, with OS update versions it happens again !!! 

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 hello

Hi,  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!
