Hi, I have a 7.9.6 project running on a brand new Mac Pro with the latest OSx and have an interesting issue - regardless of the client settings I select in the project configuration, the login screen always launches and immediately minimizes… Anyone ever seen this before? Ideas? Thanks in advance, Dan ---

A couple of us over here are seeing the same issue on macOS. We have filed a bug to figure out exactly what is going on, and fix it. If you could provide some information on your system it may help us narrow down the issue: - What version of macOS are you currently on? - Do you have multiple monitors, or just the single laptop monitor? ---

Additionally if you’d like a temporary workaround to use before we resolve this issue you can disable “Start Maximized” in the Designer. You can find this in the Project Properties under Launching. ---

Jordan, The issue occurs regard less of what the client default launch settings are – I have tried all combinations. Concerning the version, I don’t have the PC in front of me but it is a brand new Mac Pro, not an iMac or Macbook, it’s the one that looks like a little jet engine – so it should be Sierra. We are running a single monitor. Let me know what you find out! Thanks, Dan ---

Have you guys figured this out? I have a customer that is experiencing the same issue and wanted to see if you had a fix.
