macOS Sonoma "Open File" menu results a "pink or purple screen of death" using mirror screen
Hi! I found a big concern about Sonoma (all versions):
Bug with "File > Open" menu in every app, the window becoming a purple screen when using mirror screen mode
Follow these steps to reproduce:
- set two screens in mirror mode and connected by wires to the Mac
- open an app installed on a macOS 14 Sonoma (I used Preview app for exemple)
- use the "file" menu to reach the "Open File" menu
- the window of the "Open File" menu results in a entire pink or purple screen on the screen who got the duplicated status. The other screen is normal.
So it's impossible for a teacher to show this "Open File" window on a classroom with a videoprojector.
The latest version update of Sonoma (14.7.5) did not solve the problem.
Others systems like macOS 12 Monterey, 13 Ventura or 15 Sequoia systems aren't affected.
We must use at least Sonoma cos' some apps / pro drivers aren't reliable to Sequoia yet.
So basically, the bug affects Sonoma system in screen mirroring mode.
I don't have a solution at the moment, so if you got any ideas ;)
Topics on internet shows it is a known Sonoma problem.
