Chart issues with Retina displays

There's a known issue with 1.82 on Macs with retina displays that affects the chart. We couldn't fix it properly as we're a bit short on Mac developers, especially ones with retina displays, but we did manage a workaround. This is to issue the following command from the terminal:
Code: Select all
defaults write org.aegidian.oolite issue_136_fix -bool YES
More info on
github.
(Is this worth a sticky? It might be a regular bug report.)
(Edit: get the command right. Thanks, Getafix!)

For anyone, with a retina display, who is willing to test kanthoney's new approach on this case (the one that does not need the presence of the
issue_136_fix
key in the
defaults file), I have prepared a binary that can be downloaded from
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B__DrF ... sp=sharing
Important Note: To test that binary, you need to ensure the
issue_136_fix
key is NOT in your
defaults file, by executing
Code: Select all
$ defaults delete org.aegidian.oolite issue_136_fix
before
running the downloaded binary.
EDIT #1: This binary has a watermark indicating that it is a test for issue #152.
EDIT #2: Just to clarify (or make it worse
) issues #136 and #152 describe the same case. Issue #136 had been addressed by a code quick fix needing also the use of the key
issue_136_fix
in the
defaults file. Issue #152 has been opened and identified as a duplicate. However, since Issue #136 had been closed (in the rush of the Oolite 1.82 release preparation), kanthoney took the opportunity to use Issue #152 to try a proper solution.

Hi everyone.
I downloaded the test build. The galactic chart is now visible again on my retina Mac.
Feel free to send any coming retina test builds my way, I'm glad to help

Hmmm. Brand new iMac retina 27" 3.5ghz won't display the galactic chart. I DLed the binary from Getafix, but now have this problem (note galactic chart still doesn't work). I have not tried any other fixes yet. Just reporting this.
The whole game is in the bottom left corner (this stays the same when in fullscreen).

I just installed this development version and got the following behavior: When I go out from full screen mode and come back the screen is only showed in 1/4 of the screen. Then I need to change from desktops (desktop 1 to 2 and come back) to fix the screen again...
Thanks and regards!
Life long and prosper!
