Okay guess who just reinstalled 8.3.1.347000? Yeah me. Ask me why, well I'll tell you. After finishing my transcode and LUT test I decided to move on to my next job, hey it's only 2am why not. I opened a project I had set up in 6.5.4 on my new 8.3.1 and all of a sudden the bins don't stay where I put them. I made a new bin and when I close it and reopen it the bin is very small in the upper left corner of the left monitor. WTF I trash the .avs file and the xml settings and still same response.
Next I go back to the transcoding project I've been working on the last three day and not noticed this issue. The bins open where they have bin before the issue arose. I move one of the existing bins close it and reopen and it's back where it started but at least no scrunched up left. I make a new bin and it's doing the scrunching thing up left.
This is why I just reinstalled 8.3.1 from the full installer but still the problem persists. In the back of my mind somebody mentioned this on the L2 and there was a work around that fixed the problem but that it might creep up again. I'm going to do an L2 search but if anyone recognizes this issue I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I'm on Mac OS 10.9.5 MacPro 12 core mid 2012 running MC 8.3.1 with symphony option and a dongle.

I took that to mean that was the new update for 8.3.1. I do have support active but I haven't blasted my dongle past 8.3.x. My understanding is 8.4 takes a new blast to the dongle so I'm surprised it's telling me there's an update given my current dongle status. I'm attaching a screen grab. My first guess was that app manager see' my patch update as different from the full installer version but that's just a guess. I think this version number is the new one I would update to. It's a little unintuitive to just hit update and have it try to update me to 8.4 with my unblasted dongle. I think the interface should more clearly label what my current version is and what I would be updating to. Perhaps that would happen as soon as I hit update but I'm not going to try that now.

It seemed to work just fine but I noticed last night the applications manager said there was an update. Today I went and noticed a full installer for 8.3.1 for mac so I'm downloading that. I would think given both the mac 8.3.1 patch and the full installer 8.3.1 are dated as Mar 6 2015 they would accomplish the same thing. Applications manager doesn't seem to think so and tells me there's an update. Is there any reason to uninstall my patched 8.3.1 which was added on top of 8.3, and install this full installer version of 8.3.1? I'm not having any issues but curious given the same date for the patch and full installer I don't see why there was ever a "Patch" version for the mac. I'm pretty sure back around July 10 2015 when I downloaded the 8.3.1 patch there was no full installer, I would have looked for it but perhaps I missed it.So is it my failing memory or the Avid site that is in error on the release date of the patch and full installer?John Moore
