sorry that I didn't read the bug form properly.
will post a diff next time :)

Tasks about build issues aren't allowed as outlined on the bug report form.

Your welcome @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht).

Thanks for the patch, the fix I committed was different since we now need to exclude both bottom corners of the window.

Thanx for investigating and raising awareness.

Applied rBb4e8d33f1184837705255a19a5e513aa4aad96ab

Holding this one off till we drop msvc2013, it's just not worth the hassle.

Poke.

Include unistd.h on Apple platforms as well

Windows lacks this header, so this will have to be guarded by an #if defined, you can probably extend the one 3 lines below your patch

And .... now that I am home, I just tried playing the rendered mp4s on my pc and they play fine. So it is not a Blender issue but a Quicktime playback issue on the macs. I feel like an idiot for not having tried that before.

Today I tested a simple re-encoding of a 1000-frame section of an MOV file to a half-HD mp4 file using the Blender VSE on the Media/Art center Macs (which run Mac OS Sierra). I tested Blender versions 2.79, 2.79a and 2.79b ... all with the same result.

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.

Hi - the media/art center is closed today for Easter Monday, so I will have to go there tomorrow to generate the bug output.

More than a week passed without a reply.

This bug excists for more than 8 months... what about a solution?

I will send you debug output and new zip file on Monday

I don't have permission to install anything on the machines at the media/art center, I just teach there sometimes. So I can't install 2.79b.

@Trudy Wohlleben (trudyvfx) Yeah that was for you. Run blender with debug options on:
open Terminal and start blender with:

doesn't seem like the attached .blend is using any of the video files, (or i'm not bright enough to figure out how to reset the paths) if you could attach a .blend file where we just have to hit 'render animation' to get the problem to show that be appreciated.

Is this question for me (probably not but answering just in case)?

Was the file packed or just like that? Making sure that asset file paths are ok, that rendered out on 2.79b.
Debug output would be nice to trace the error, if it still is there.

I also encountered this bug.

@Arto Kitula (akitula) can you take a look at this?

seems like that mirror site is down, we'll get someone on that, in the mean time you can grab a copy off the main server at

Please describe the exact steps you are doing, for example :

• File > Load Factory Settings
• Change manipulator to scale
• Press and drag one of the axes of the manipulator

Oh, sorry 'bout that

Oh now I get it. Slowly. =) Fixing.

The committed fix is not exactly what I had in mind, I suggested to only change the behavior when the -W option is used (so WIN_OVERRIDE_WINSTATE is set).

Comments to D3100 are welcome.

I'm fine with renaming --window-borderless to --window-fullscreen. Maybe @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) has an opinion on it?

I'll do the changes. It would be good to also fix -W option description "borderless" -> "fullscreen". Do we need more opinions here? =)

So first the confusing thing is that "borderless" actually means fullscreen. Fullscreen at some point meant making a borderless window that covered the entire screen, and combined with the -p option you could get a smaller borderless window. But macOS now has native fullscreen support which works quite different.

This is confirmed, on macOS, fullscreen mode is not enabled on startup even there is -W/--window-borderless option set.
wm_window.c lines around 453. Does @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), @jens verwiebe (jensverwiebe) or @Martijn Berger (juicyfruit) know/remember history of this?
