Numbers not showing in tracker window

This has only started occurring since i installed the latest update, i am using a mac. When i type in dimensions or angles in the tracker window they don't appear in the proper box but show up some way below it, it still all functions normally but is a bit annoying as i have to look in a different place for the dimensions i am entering

As a first step, make sure you have the latest build of ArchiCAD and the latest version of your graphics driver installed. Then see if the problem still occurs.

Have the latest update for archicad as stated in the previous msg and also have the latest drivers for my graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT). Have just noticed that this problem only occurs when i am using a second monitor from my macbook pro. At least i can navigate the 3d window since the update, perhaps this is a simular glitch???

In that case I would report this to my reseller who will report it to Graphisoft.

I just reproduced this bug. Only happens when the drawing window is not on the Mac primary monitor. I've reported it.

(Historically, there have been other issues with this setup - including 3D - so I always advise using the Mac secondary monitor only for palettes. On Mac, if the external monitor is the larger monitor, simply make it be the primary when plugged into your laptop. Windows users have typically not had any issues with primary vs secondary monitors.)

This issue (along with many other bugs) is resolved in AC 15.

Typing on iPhone so being brief...

To make a different monitor the Primary, open the display settings and drag the menubar icon in the preference panel showing the stylized monitors to the desired monitor. Whichever monitor has the menubar becomes the primary. I think.
