It feels like a bug. Or at least a strange behaviour.

1. start Rhino beta
2. open Grasshopper
3. switch Rhino to full screen [space]
4. grasshopper remains as a desktop window but disappears the moment you move to / look at, the desktop.
5. if switching GH to full screen **first** then it shows as expected. but not when switching Rhino first!

thanks a lot

Hi @Akash-

A little late on the reply, but…

Are you still seeing this behavior in the [Release Candidate for 6.20](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/rhino-6-for-mac-service-release-candidates/86844)?
