We disabled fullscreen mode on iOS and told users to not save bookmarks to the home screen because it opens it in an alternate mode (?!?!) that somehow messes up dimension calculations (?!?!?!?!?!?!)
If you ignore IE11 (i.e. assume most recent Edge), Safari is the quirkiest mainstream browser.
Also, "at least it's not IE" is a pretty low bar :P
(come to think of it, aside from lacking support for the newest standards, IE11 is probably less quirky than Safari :S)
These days Chrome more or less sets the standard.
Which isn't necessarily a good thing, but that's how market share works...
I have a Windows 7 laptop (specifically, an hp ProBook 6470b) and a brand new Dell U2718Q UltraSharp 4K monitor.
When I hooked up the monitor (using a DisplayPort cable - DP to DP, no mini-DP), it worked fine showing the low resolution of the laptop screen. The display settings of Windows 7 wer...
Now I'm just trying to get back to "extend displays" when I can't even see the option (or anything) when the monitor is plugged in, but the option doesn't seem to exist when the monitor isn't plugged in. :P
I saw that shortcut associated with something about projectors. So if in 10 it does that, maybe it does in 7 too. I'll try it....
Huh, yes, the shortcut does do that.
But evidently, the display doesn't work now that I've installed the driver? (I'm guessing.) Because it still stays black.
And even if set on "laptop only," the laptop screen stays black when I plug in the DP cable.
Which it didn't do when I first plugged it in.
Oh, I'm poking around the CD browser again. Maybe I didn't install drivers. I thought I did. But now if I try to open the "monitor drivers" section of the CD browser, it just says that I have to connect the monitor before running the program.
Okay, I managed to do it blind. We'll see where that gets me.
Windows 7 is weird about that. When you don't have an external monitor plugged in, it pretends there is no such thing as single screen mode or extended displays or whatever else.
Aye. Hardly. Colour profiles is indeed one thing. but most people probably do not bother with that. Max resolution/refresh might be another. But these days you ask ask the monitor for that (unlike ancient VGA)
I got it back to the working "extend these displays" setting. Bizarre indeed that that one works fine, but the "show only on the Dell 4K" option does not.
I posted a self-answer with the details on how I did it, anyway.
If anyone knows how to get it correctly working on just the 4K monitor, i.e. "show only on 2" without using the built-in monitor—which option works perfectly at work with a 1080p Dell monitor over VGA, by the way—I would love to hear it.
Or even if anyone knows just how to diagnose that.
Welp, thought I'd lost $time-amount of work due to firefox not liking GPU rendering and losing all page interface on a YT video; saved thanks to javascript console $().click()-ing the 'Publish' button
I assume it's a GPU rendering thing as the page is turning black and Fx is spamming the console with "[GFX1-]: Failed buffer for: <...>" repeatedly...
This is been your daily reminder to back up work-in-progress
@FleetCommand The rest of the article is such a dumpster fire that I won't bother.
I've made like 5 edits to wikipedia in my life, sooo... not my thing :P
