Re: Screen problem

[Robin Belford]

Bill,
That is a resizable screen capture box (note the handles on each corner, with a 
menu bar below the highlighted area.
There is a small “x” at the end of this menu bar pressing this will cancel the 
action.
The menu bar has rollover tool tips. 
This is a powerful and relatively unknown feature of macOS.

Regards,

robin

Re: Screen problem

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Juliet, maybe this will help. A small extract here or the link
below for the full reading.

HOW TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT IN MACOS MOJAVE

Many of us have long been familiar with the old standbys of macOS
screenshots:

* _Command-Shift-3_ takes a screenshot of the entire screen, which
immediately saves to the desktop.
* _Command-Shift-4_ takes a screenshot of a specific area, which you
select by dragging an adjustable rectangle.

But with Mojave, we also get _Command-Shift-5_. Use this, and
you’ll get a small menu bar along the bottom that offers five
choices. (If you use a MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar, you’ll also see
these options on the bar.) Those choices are:

* Screenshot the whole screen (exactly like _Command-Shift-3_)
* Screenshot a specific window
* Screenshot a specific area (exactly like _Command-Shift-4_)
* Record the entire screen (for video)
* Record a specific part of the screen (for video)

On the right side of the bar, you’ll also see an _Options_ menu
that lets you further customize your screenshotting experience.
Importantly, these options can also change how screenshots behave with
good ol’ _Command-Shift-3_ and _Command-Shift-4_.

Re: Screen problem

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Bill,

Sounds like you might not have turned OFF mirroring.

If you mirror your screens, they both run at the resolution of the smaller 
screen, i.e. the MacBook Pro's. This isn't good for the Cinema Display. To run 
the Cinema Display at its native resolution, you *have* to turn off mirroring. 
You can set it as the master display by dragging the menubar to the Cinema 
Display (in the Display preference pane's arrange function).

Of course you can use the Cinema as a unique display, but you'll probably want 
an external keyboard and mouse for that. Then you can close the lid, the MBP 
goes to sleep. Wake it up without opening the screen, and only the Cinema 
Display turns on - in all its high resolution glory.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Screen problem

[Bill Parker]

Thanks. Checked all that - no difference.  I am now working with Cinema 
disconnected.  Did a permissions repair and it found the display preferences 
all (?) incorrect.  Restart.

Now I have a screen which too big for the physical frame.  i.e. all the 
normal components (menu bar, HD icon, dock) are just beyond the frame.  I can 
see them by dragging the cursor up right or down.  Not ideal.

Another thing I have noticed in the past few weeks is after restarting from 
shutdown, I get a relaunch finder sequence.

Re: Screen problem

Hi Bill,

We need more details to be able to help you. 
MacBook Pro details,  OS X details,  what External Display you have been using 
please.
Has this problem only happened since you have been using this External Display 
or when did it start?

I have to rush out to a client job now, but will be back later in the morning.

Hi BIll

Check System Preferences - Accessibility. Under Zoom, do you have anything

That's what it tends to sound like. If so, unstick those.

Re: Screen problem

That's it!   Funny that I had never even gone to Universal Access that I can

to Cinema.

 Display. To run the Cinema Display at its native resolution, you *have* 
 to turn off mirroring. You can set it as the master display by dragging 
 the menubar to the Cinema Display (in the Display preference pane's 
 arrange function).
 
 Of course you can use the Cinema as a unique display, but you'll probably 
 want an external keyboard and mouse for that. Then you can close the lid, 
 the MBP goes to sleep. Wake it up without opening the screen, and only 
 the Cinema Display turns on - in all its high resolution glory.

 Hi Wamug (ers)
 
 The is my set up.  Mac Book Pro connected to a cinema display.   
 Normally keep the MBP lid shut, but just now it's open.
 
 On the MBP I see 80% of a photograph of a mine site haul road. There is 
 NO menu bar at the top, and no icons.  In the 20% at the bottom, I have 
 a menu bar and the picture that occupies 100% of the cinema screen.
 
 On the cinema screen I have an Apple stock pic with all of my icons,  
 but I cannot access the right side where some are hidden.
 
 Shutting the MBP lid, I can now see the same Apple pic and I can see the 
 icons, and I  have a menu bar if I push the cursor north.  If I go west 
 or east I get more icons, including my HD icon.
 
 All happened this am without warning.
 
 I did Repair Permissions this am, most were related to screen stuff.  
 Restart.  No diff.  to screen split nor the apparent lack of fit to my 
 cinema screen of things off stage to right hand elsewhere or the menu 
 bar being hidden above the top of the screen.
 
 Anyone have any ideas?
 
 Bill

 The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived 
 and dishonest – but the myth – persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
