[MC-61050] Fullscreen mode displays the actual game only in much lower resolution in the corner

1. Launch the game
2. Enter fullscreen (F11)
3. Observe

Also see attached screenshot, which is the result of pressing F2 in fullscreen mode. The blue background seems to be the sky. Also, F2 doesn't seem to get the proportion right, the game displays about 3 times as small.

Workaround for still being able to play in fullscreen: Enter fullscreen on the main menu, then start/join a game.

This was fixed for a few hours after 1.8-pre1, but apparently it un-fixed itself, probably relating to LWJGL somehow.

Can't confirm on Windows 8.1, running Java 1.7.0_45 with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

The exact distortion seems based on the size of the window before maximizing. I'm seeing the bug on Mac OS 10.6.8 with Java 1.6.0_65 and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400 (should probably upgrade all of the above sometime…)

Can't confirm on 64 bit Kubuntu 14.04 (Java 1.7.0_55 with an AMD HD5670).

redstonehelper, what are your computer's specifications?

Mog, which Java version are you using? This only seems to be an 1.6 issue ₍_{redstonebuilder confirmed he has Java 1.6}₎

Erik Broes 2014-07-11T06:01:53Z

Can't reproduce on windows 7 x64 with GF580 (two screens)

kongr45gpen 2014-07-11T08:34:07Z

@unknown, which Java version are you using? Try switching to 1.6 and see if you can reproduce it.

Still happening on 14w29a.

edit: and b.

If I were to make a suggestion to Mojang, you may as well drop Java 6 support anyway when you drop OpenGL 1.0. Java 8 is right around the corner, its first releases are already out, and most machines capable of Java 6 and Minecraft can use 7.

Still happening on 31a.

Joel Puig Rubio 2014-07-30T19:51:54Z

That has been a problem since always when loading the world and maximizing the window before it loading, at least for me.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2014-08-06T14:32:02Z

32a too.

Nihiltres 2014-08-06T15:38:53Z

In at least 31a and 32a (haven't tested others for this), I've noticed that this bug seems to only trigger if the game is maximized after a world begins to load. The main menu does not encounter the bug, and if a game experiencing the bug has the world reloaded from the main menu while maximized, the bug isn't present upon reloading.

Would someone with appropriate permissions please modify the description to reflect this? It's important for replication.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2014-08-18T12:04:27Z

Added environment info.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2014-08-22T10:51:58Z

Fixed in 1.8-pre1.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2014-08-23T00:27:07Z

Please re-open, it's happening again, possibly relates to LWJGL.

I have noticed this a few times on my computer. It seems to happen more frequently when the game is maximized while lagging, such as when first opening the world on a slower computer or if there are a lot of entities. As a temporary work around, this can be fixed by setting the game to not fullscreen and back to full screen. I have also noticed that this happens when switching from non-maximized mode to maximized mode while lagging. I have not noticed this on any of the new snapshots and I have not tested for it in 1.8-pre1, but this affected 1.7.10 and earlier versions.

Brandon Enright 2014-08-23T08:03:09Z

I reported what sounds like the same issue in MC-56743

[Mod] redstonehelper 2014-08-28T13:35:21Z

Fixed in 1.8-pre3, at the moment.
