Configurator app zoomed way in (possibly a macOS Sonoma issue?)

[zakkhoyt]

I'm running MacOS Sonoma beta 3. Went to fire up BLHeli32Suite (1.0.4.2) and found that it's zoomed way in.

I tried restarting the app, resizing the window, using different monitors, resolutions, etc... Nothing made a difference.

I then installed on an older mac with current prod build of macOS where BLHeli32Suite (1.0.4.2) looks just fine.

I can't say for certain that MacOS Sonoma is the problem, but it's sus.

[zakkhoyt]

I thought I'd add that I went to try some older builds. 1.0.4.1 behaves the same on Sonoma.

Same issue here

[4712]

thank you for the info, will be surely fixed until release.

[4712]

There is no simply workaround, either it will be fixed with one of the next Sonoma betas/ release or the compiler needs to be patched.

[zakkhoyt]

Hey, all @borisborat @4712,

I found a workaround and added a few thoughts.

Workaround

This bug is only present if your monitor is using retina scaling
a) Go to Mac Display settings then enable Show All Resolutions.
b) Selecting a low resolution setting will allow BLHeli to display with the correct scaling (enough for you to use the app).

I discovered this because I am using a second monitor with retina scaling turned off in trade for a higher refresh rate.

Whose bug?

I think that this is likely Apple's bug, but I haven't verified that. I am seeing very similar behavior with Velocidrone's installer, but with the scaling inverse.

For the record I'm seeing this scaling issue on:

• Macbook Pro (max) built in display
• LG C1 (OLED) tv
• LG 4K monitor

This Issue

@4712 (or other repo owners), no worries if you close this issue but it might be good to leave it open for visibility into the workaround so that you don't get new Issues filed.

Cheers.

[4712]

Thank you @zakkhoyt for your findings. Let's hope it will be fixed in the next sonoma beta!
Btw, there is also a workaround found, if you like to test, here are 2 options:
BLHeliSuite32xm_MacOS64_1042.1 Beta.dmg.zip
BLHeliSuite32xm_MacOS64_1042.2 Beta.dmg.zip

1042.2 worked for me, the .1 can't read the setup. MBP 14" M1 Pro, Sonoma 14.0 public beta 2

[zakkhoyt]

I tried out both of the beta options provided above and they both seemed to work for me with retina scaling turned on or off (no longer matters).

@4712 Thanks for providing some early builds

The public release still exhibits the scaling issue using latest developer beta: macOS Sonoma beta 14.0 (23A5337a) when retina scaling is turned on.

Using a non-scaled resolution still skirts the issue.

@4712 As an iOS/mac developer, I am curious what changes you included in the two beta builds. If you are willing to share I'm curious to learn.

[4712]

@zakkhoyt As the app is done using Delphi/FMX, the workaround is FMX specific related to the used Xcode sdk.
It was stated that Apple changed something around CGShadingCreateAxial / CGContextDrawShading and CGGradientCreateWithColors / CGContextDrawLinearGradient.
I hope there will be a clean patch until the final release of Sonoma.

I can confirm the issue on official Sonoma MacOS.

[4712]

Yes, it is still the same. The next version with a final fix still needs a few days.
BTW: they are already working on Sonoma 14.1 beta, I did not try yet.

[krknopp]

I'm unable to open either of the beta images on either of two different M1 Macs. Both betas say the image is corrupted. Happy a fix is incoming!

[4712]

@krknopp Do you have Rosetta installed? Does it say the "zip" or the "dmg" file is corrupt?

[krknopp]

I do have Rosetta installed. I get it when I try to run the file inside the DMG after mounting it. My friend got the same thing on his computer too. And I get this same thing if I copy the file in to the Application folder prior to running it. And If I right click and choose Open.

[zakkhoyt]

BTW: they are already working on Sonoma 14.1 beta, I did not try yet.

@4712, I tried on 14.1b2. Everything seems the same as 14.0 (Still affects retina scaling, does not affect non-scaled)

1042.2 is still working great for me.
I'm happy to run some small tests for you, just LMK.

[4712]

Please try this, it includes the final fix for the next release.
BLHeliSuite32xm_MacOS64_1042.3.dmg.zip

[krknopp]

That worked on both my M1 Macs! Thank you.

[simoccc]

I confirm it's working now on Sonoma thanks !
