P: Lights Out (L key) causes screen size to shrink

Issue: Lights Out mode causes screen to shrink a little

  • Lightroom Classic Version Number: 13.3.1
  • OS Version Number: Sonoma 14.5 (23F79)
  • Macbook Air 2022 - M2


Steps to reproduce:

 

While Lighroom Classic is open on Laptop Monitor (laptop monitor only), pressing "L" causes the desktop size to shrink just a little. It appears the desktop as a whole will sit just below the laptop's camera.

 

It will not go back to its normal size UNLESS Lightroom is not the primiary application selected.

Pressing "L" to turn off "Lights Out" mode does not resolve the issue. It will remain unless I use one of the work arounds. 

 

My workarounds:

  1. Restart LR
  2. Making LR full screen, then windowed again
  3. Moving LR to a secondary monitor

 

I attached a video of me switch applications with cmd+tab to show the odd bug that happens. 

 

Thank you for the help!

This is an excellent workaround. Worked for me! MacAir M2, LR 14.1.1.

Found a workaround:

1. Close the app.

2. Locate the app in Finder.

3. Right click the app and select "Get Info".

4. Uncheck "Scale to fit below built-in Camera".

It has not. I just recreated the bug 5 seconds ago. 

 

@Sameer K Any updates?

Has this bug been resolved? I still have the same issue with a Macbook Pro M3
