[chirp_users] MacOS - Chirp Windowing Misalignment
I have a problem with Chirp on MacOS, specifically 10.12 or 10.13 with the most recent build or (much) older ones. I have two separate Mac's, one is my regular machine and the other is a test machine I just loaded with the latest downloads for chirp and python today.
On both my mouse cursor doesn't track accurately with controls or cells in the Chirp window. The offset is vertical about 1 or 2 cells or controls typically. When this occurs I either see the bottom of the screen is either truncated or has a black band at the bottom, equal to the amount of offset. If I resize the screen, the cursor alignment is restored for a while, but it never lasts for more than a few actions. No special mouse/cursor software installed.
Anyone seen this before?
Separate question - is there a way to search archives?
Thanks and regards,

Hi Jerry,
I’ve seen the misalignment issue only after attempting to resize the CHIRP window in MacOS. If I close the window and reopen in its default size, the misalignment issue is gone. I’m using 10.13.6 currently, but have seen the same issue for the past few MacOS patches.

David and Charley - Thanks for the information.
I am (somewhat) glad to hear that the behavior is not exclusive to my Mac's. One is a Mini and the other Macbook Pro and only the latter had the Prolific Drivers installed.
Full screen does work correctly but as I as copying/pasting between applications, I kept resizing which leads to the pointer tracking problem. I wonder if the window size needs to be some integer multiple or similar?
