Squashed vectorscope

Hi,

How do I un-squash the vectorscope so its round again?
I am using 18.0B Build 28, it was working with this build until I selected Reset UI Layout because somehow I managed to merge the Colors wheels and Levels into the one display

Never see that!

Click on the three dots and see that the Ratio is set to 4x3. If you go from a single scope to two and back again does it right itself? It does on my system.

I don't have a Ratio option. Never seen one before 18 either.

Windows or Mac? What's the screen resolution? Since the scopes aren't floating, there is no Ratio menu in the 3 dot menu.

But if you Expand the scopes, does that fix it? And then close them and select them in the dock again?

Did you get the memo? Scopes don't float anymore.

Floating fine for me.

Scopes don't float on a Mac if Resolve is running in full-screen. Instead, the scopes go into a full screen mode themselves. Not ideal.

My system as well, additionally if scopes are invoked (⬆︎⌘W) on the Color page the scopes disappear and Resolve will open a second fullscreen window that remains active for the remainder of the session regardless of whether the scopes are "floating" or docked.

You can get them to float on a Mac by first leaving full screen mode in Resolve, then floating the scopes and then return to full screen mode for Resolve.

As long as you don't try to float them from fullscreen first. I'm about done with Resolve, there are just too many UI/UX bugs on my machine, they aren't mission critical but they're distracting and annoying. It's getting worse with each iteration, so I'm not holding my breath for any serious improvements at this point.

Good Luck

Ahhhh...

As the floating scopes are available on a second monitor, when you switch to Full Screen mode, BOTH the Resolve interface and the scopes are switched to full screen. If you don't use full screen mode the floating scopes can be used on a second monitor and freely positioned. It's not actually a bug, it's how it has been designed.

It's not actually a bug, it's how it has been designed.

Neither the manual nor the last six versions of Resolve support this opinion.

Good Luck

Having the same issue, there is no way to resize scopes, they are squashed 100% width over the GUI. It's unworkable.

On DVR18 manual, page 2762, you can clearly see an image of floating scopes, how it should be, so scopes have been intended to float, resize and have that "close" icon top-left. Instead I get them full screen all the time without close icon and no resize control. Resetting the GUI fixes it but as soon as I turn the GUI full screen, when scopes are invoked again they adopt the same interface as if they were intended to work on a seconday display, but displayed on the primary display over the main GUI. This drives me nuts when working on laptop away home.

I'm about to go to DVR 17 again until solved.

Please fix, ASAP, thanks,

Works as expected with Resolve 18.0.1 on my M1 Pro 14" MBP with a screen res of 1800x1169.

What's your screen resolution?

Dear Dwaine, I don't see DVR is on full screen on your display. To reproduce the error, you should go set DVR to full screen.

Answering to your question about my screen resolution:

On the iMac I've tested both using default 2560x1440, and with my fav 2048x1152. On this iMac I've attached secondary display at 1920x1080 as clean feed.

On MBP 14" M1 Pro, tested with 1512x1082 and also 1352x878 which is my fav for GUI.

On all 4 cases I reproduce the issue without solving it.

I've tested with 1512x1082 and also 1352x878 and those work as expected.

You mentioned "as soon as I turn the GUI full screen". What do you mean by that? How are you doing that? Maybe that's what I'm missing?

You should click the green button on the top left corner of the GUI. (the standard macOS red-yellow-green buttons)

I 've just open a thread stating that the command you need to set full screen is now missing on DVR18, but it was present on DVR17. Here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=164982 I turn full screen display on using the old keyboard shortcut I made on DVR17, which still works despite the command is not visible on the menu.

[Dwaine Maggart]

Yes, of course, thanks for that.

OK, the deal is, if you are in full screen mode and you open the floating scopes, they are in fill the screen mode forever more, until you restart Resolve. Even if you take Resolve out of full screen mode.

And this happens with any screen resolution.

I don't know that there is anything that can be done, but I'll report it and see.

Thanks for reporting it.

please note that sometimes the scopes alone create a new desktop. Missing the old full screen mode before 17.4 for many reasons: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=149566
