Problems with "Fullscreen" command in Rhino 8

I’m noticing some issues with the Fullscreen command in Rhino 8 that are not present in Rhino 7:

  • The user selected window layout is changed upon exiting fullscreen. This is quite frustrating if you spend a certain while to organise the panels and toolbars in a specific way you want, also incorporating custom toolbars you’ve made.
  • It takes longer (~3sec) for Rhino to enter and exit Fullscreen than it does under Rhino 7 (instantly).
  • Sometimes, but not always, I experienced the active window focus being lost after exiting fullscreen. I then needed to click on Rhino 8’s taskbar icon again for the app to reappear.

Can you reproduce any of these?

Especially the first issue is quite aggravating. I will setup my window layout again, and as a temporary workaround maybe try to save it too, as seems to be a new feature of Rhino8 now.

Hi
The problem is known and noted here
Thanks.

Ah thank you. I’m glad it’s already discussed.

Only the toggling performance is new here then.

Same issue here in Version 8 SR19
