Menu Bar

PostTue Sep 26, 2017 10:35 pm

Hi guys,

I have a very strange problem, while using Resolve, sometimes I go to use something on the menu bar and it just doesn't work, I can't open any settings or even exit Resolve.
I can change screens from edit to fairlight etc.
The only way I can shut down Resolve is to ctrl,alt, delete and use Task manager
Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?

Thanks
Thanks,
Nick

Is your menu bar present or not? There is a setting for this in Resolve.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Hi,

no the menu bar is present, and in fact sometimes the menus scroll down for a second then disappear.
Thanks,

I also have this problem sometimes when I want to select a 3D Lut on a Node by right clicking on the Node.
The 3D Lut menu closes itself after a few seconds before I can select a 3D Lut.

Hi guys,
I finally got it to happen again, and i have log for it as well as I was hoping it was going to shut down after project manage (but that's another story).
I had left the machine idle for a while, come back an menus failed, as you can see if i moved from Edit to colour they would come active again but only for a fraction of a second, then they would stop again.
I hope you appreciate the exceptional shooting, colour grading and editing of these shots NOT>

Sorry can someone advise how to upload the log, system info file and video as I keep getting an error message saying files too big.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,

just wondering if there is an update on this issue as it still happens in 14.01?
Especially if you leave the machine for a while, you have to shut Resolve down with Ctrl Alt Del and restart.
Thanks,
Nick

This happens to me, too. Especially after leaving the machine (DR 15, Win 10).

[Idk if it matters but just in case I run windows 10] As a new user I recently encountered a similar problem, where an odd glitch occurred making it impossible to access the top menu buttons in DaVinci Resolve. The program would seem to also have a visual glitch every time I would click off the program, and again when I would click back on. I only found this workaround today so I'm unsure if this will help anyone, but after managing to get the "Workspace" tab open (repeatedly clicking on and off the program until the tab would stay open) and disabling "Full Screen Window" I no longer have the issue. For now at least I can use the menu buttons with no issue. It sucks to have the white windows border above the program but if it works it works. Hope this helps!

Clicking multiple times on a dropdown menu is certainly not normal. What is your screen resolution, and is its scaling set to 100% (native).
My monitors are 1920X1080 and are running off my GTX 1060. Their scaling is set to 100%.

As an example, this is what I see on the Edit page when it is set to Full Screen Window with the Workspace menu open.
