Some resolutions give borders in fullscreen 0.82.3

[Cheesecan]

Some resolutions with aspect ratio 16:10 and 16:9 are broken.

For instance the 1440x900 resolution will give me borders around the screen where the map background color will appear. It is not possible to move the mouse cursor there. It also gives a black border in the same region during the loading screen.

Meanwhile I am using 1280x800 which works correctly for me. I have spoken to other laptop users and they have reported the same problem with non-standard resolutions.

Problem seems to disappear in windowed mode. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. This was working fine before 0.82.

Why is this thread being ignored? I confirm this bug with 1680x1050 on Archlinux, Nvidia gfx.

I can also confirm this bug on 4:3 screen @ 1600x1200. Game was ran under Slackware (-current release) Linux with NVIDIA videocard and proprietary drivers.

I think it's been fixed.

I have version 0.82.3 and the same bug. My resolution is 1280x1024 and I have the background-colored rectangles on the top and on the right. Also mouse pointer is shifted: to select a unit or menu item I have to click above it.

I just tried 1920x1080 on my new 23" widescreen and that also gave me a margin at the top. I'm pretty disappointed as I was hoping to play spring in Full-HD res..but happy to see the issue has been resolved in the git version.

I'm hoping for a new official version release soon with this fixed so I can play online with proper resolution..

Please provide a screenshot of the error.

Just tried and what happens is that spring automatically crops the image so that the saved screenshot is only 1920 x 1023 pixels, effectively removing the margin at the top.

I don't know of any other way to grab screenshots in linux inside of fullscreen opengl apps. Any ideas?

Edit:
lol I just tried setting the resolution to that in springsettings and it fixed the problem. Now I can play in near full HD albeit in a rather strange resolution.

Edit again: Just figured it is probably NOT a good idea to run a monitor in a resolution like that. That's right kids, don't try it.

doesn't matter on LCDs, they either display something or they don't

as for CRTs, they might show a funny picture, display it properly, or give you an error
