Fullscreen Freeze

Rhino
1

I mostly use the full screen command when I want to render my scene. The problem with Rhino 8 going into Fullscreen is that after few second it freezes, I can’t roll, or pan, or select objects, Nothing, it freezes. The good thing is that Pressing the Esc key multiple times, Rhino unfreezes and exits the Fullscreen. The selected window layout used to change upon exiting Fullscreen and rhino messes up the layout of the arranged toolbars… Now, in version 8.4 and up, the Messing of the user interface layout has been solved, BUT, the Freeze issue Remains, it always happens after few seconds. Can this be addressed and solved: this doesn’t and never happened in Rhino 7

Hi Joe -

I can’t reproduce this behavior on my system. Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi Wim,
I tried it now, it freezes after you run the Render Command, and render something, anything. when render finishes, close the render window, back to the full screen, try to pan, or roll, or select objets, Nothing, Rhino is freezed, you must press the Esc key to exit the full screen and unfreezes.

and here is the SystemInfo:

I encountered the same problem！

That’s my situation:

  1. after working in Rhino8 for a period of time (maybe 0.5 - 1 hour, I didn’t time it )
  2. run command “fullscreen”, it’s working fine so far
  3. use middle mouse button to popup my custom toolbar without running any command after.Fullscreen Freeze now!

No Solution yet. Rhino freezes in Fullscreen after executing one command. when done, rhino freezes, the good thing is that you press the esc key couple of times, rhino exists the Fullscreen. Don’t worry it never messes your work, you can continue working. it is just a nuisance, an inconvenience, but it is an issue they, a McNeel must resolve in future service releases, hopefully!
