Bug with Kobo Desktop and OSX Yosemite

mwheinz · 12-01-2014, 11:37 PM

Omitting the long story: Kobo Desktop is not compatible with Yosemite's full screen mode. It will launch in that mode, but the tab bar ("Library", "Bookstore", "eReader", etc..) will be missing. To get them back you have to exit full screen mode, then quite Kobo Desktop, then restart it again.

I won't tell you how long it took me to figure that out. Let's just say that the rumors that I created a windows Virtual Machine just to install the windows version of Kobo Desktop are completely unproven.

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the report, was able to reproduce it myself (not doubting it was an issue) and I believe it will be addressed in the next desktop update.
