|

I'm hammering pretty hard on the OSX demo version 'cause I'm so excited to have JS available in OSX. Way to go!
Here's a workaround that may help some of you.
My setup: OSX Mavericks, Live 9.1.3, MBPro, Thunderbold Display
Problem 1: When JS launches under Live in 2-screen mode, half the plugin display is cut off with an equal-sized white space at the bottom (the window and the JS plugin contents aren't lined up, the plugin is shifted up which covers up the frame). This means that the top half of the JS interface isn't available and there's no way to grab/move the containing frame.
The workaround: Close Live. Unplug the Thunderbolt (so now you're running just on the MBPro). Launch Live. Add JS. Open the JS window. Now the whole JS interface is visible, works and can be moved around the screen. Plug the Thunderbolt back in. Arrange the Live and JS windows to your liking. Immediately save the Live set (see below).
Problem 2: JS loses the relationship between its interface and the containing OSX window, making it impossible to reposition.
The workaround: The first thing to do once the whole JS interface is visible is to place it where you want it and immediately save the Live set file. Closing and reopening the file then restores the relationship between the JS interface and the containing window. |
