Black ribbon on external Monitor

Black ribbon on external Monitor

avatar

Hello,

yesterday I switched my external Monitor to an Apple Cinema Display. It´s connected to a MBP retina. I am running Windows 8 an since the display was switched I get a big black ribbon on the top of the external display when I maximize the RDM app. When I move the windows to the notebook display everything is OK, when I adjust the window size everything is OK also on the Cinema display but maximized it´s black.

I played with some other apps I use and it seems that only RDM and Notepad++ have the "black ribbon" problem. Any ideas?

Thanks
Carsten

I'm curious to see if this happen if you switch to Classic UI mode? Could you try, its in File->Options in the general tab page.

It´s still the same in all three diferent modes. I just updated to the latest beta but also this does not fix it. If RDM is in windows mode I can move it until the top, but asap I maximize the window the black ribbon is back again.

It's strange, maybe it's an issue with .NET

Hi, found another app that shows the black bar. Win SCP. So probably someone has an idea?

Hi,
I have probably one more hint for finding a solution. It seems that it depends on the windows text scaling. So if it is set to 150% the black ribbon appears. With 100% or 125% everything seems to be OK.
Hope this helps.

This is a good clue
