I've just upgraded from the free version to Studio 19 and found that when I have 'automatically hide task bar' enabled in Windows 11, the app only works in full screen mode, if I want to resize the window, I click the button to come out of full screen mode and everything goes black for a moment, when it comes back I can no longer click on anything, eventually it'll switch back to full screen by itself but then the controls are offset on the interface i.e. I have to click slightly below anything to actually select it.

Running Windows 11 on two 4k monitors
RTX 4090 GPU

Anyone else having this issue?

I'm forced to change the task bar behaviour when ever I use the app, meaning the task bar is always visible, even when using the cinema viewer or I have to work just in full screen so I can't resize the window.

video of the issue shot on smart phone (when I tried to capture using OBS the screen doesn't go black on the OBS capture, but the interface still gets offset)

It's not normal for the Task Bar to show in Cinema Viewer mode. Display Scaling is set to 100%

Check the video I posted of the issue, it's definitely not normal behaviour

The video doesn't really cover Cinema Viewer mode. Were you intending it did?

No, that's not main the issue, the issue is the interface bugs out when i deselect maximise (top right of the window) if I change Windows so that it doesn't hide the taskbar the issue is gone but then the task bar IS always visible in cinema view. I think I misread your first comment when I replied.

Right. I'm saying it's common for the Task Bar to remain visible at all times, not using Auto Hide. And when entering Cinema Viewer mode, the Task bar doesn't remain visible. It's odd that it does for you.

Maybe related to the primary issue, I don't know. But the only idea I had to check is Display Scaling. We do get reports of things sometimes going wonky when using anything other than 100%.

Thanks, I'll try changing it, as it's not set to 100

Just as an example

One other variable here is the use of two displays. I have only one, so there may be bugs with your setup that I just won't encounter.

If you're inclined, you can remove a display just for some testing.

I've just tried changing it to 100 percent and it fixed this issue, but everything is now really small, too small for my eyes!

Ha ha! Success!

(You might need a physically larger monitor though. I find 32" is a good minimum for 2160 resolution.)

It's a huge screen, like 47inches lol, but my eyes aren't great.

I just disabled the other screen and it seemed to fix the issue, I've no idea why. This isn't really a solution though.

I found a work around, if I manage to move the window to the other screen (after a lot of glitching) and then maximise it, then un-maximize it and move it back to the other screen, it behaves as expected. I'm guessing there's some kind of conflict or it's getting something mixed up.

Pleased to say that this issue has been fixed with version 20, I can now resize windows on my machine with the scale set above 100% without issues! Thanks BM!
