    Just updated to new 2. whatever, and now when i go to export the bottom part of the screen isnt visible so i can enter version code etc. My laptop is 1366x768 so i figured that was it, jumped over to HDTV at 1920 res and same problem. Tried scrolling, nothing. Tried resizing window, nothing. Cannot successfully export as im not able to fill out bottom info.[​IMG]

    Got it, I've seen a few reports of this. We'll fix in the next release. If increasing you screen size is an option that can be used as a workaround until a new point release.

    It doesnt work. i went from 1366x768 all the way up to 1920 rez. Stays the same. Is there a timeframe to when this update will release? As we cannot export games properly until it is fixed.

    There should be a way to increase your desktop area. I'm not sure how to do it on Windows (Mac user) but I will get an answer on how it can be done.

    OK, try going into your display settings and drag the control referenced below to the left. If you change resolutions you may have to go back to this control and re-adjust to take advantage of the extra space.

    Mines already all the way to the left by default.

    Even if you increase the resolution to 1920? Can you sent a screenshot of what BB looks like with the resolution set that high?

    It looks exactly the same. The screenshot above is at 1920 res. Other software such as photoshop etc scale out good and give more real estate on screen, but BB doesnt. it ALWAYS is the same size for me no matter the resolution.

    On the Windows 10 system I use for testing I do not have the same issue. If I change to 1368x768 I can replicate the problem. If I increase to anything that is 1080 vertical there is no issue. So I am trying to figure out what the difference is and get you a workaround until we can adjust the layout for smaller vertical resolutions.

    I plugged laptop up to new hdtv which was 1920 res. i wonder if i do that again, and change the res down, then back up to 1920 or similar higher res, if it does it.....

    You have to make sure the OS is really using the higher resolution instead of just scaling the whole screen up. It's possible what you suggest (or even a reboot) would help.

    I rebooted and nothing. Shortly i will test what i said. My laptops max res is 1366x768. As tv is 1920 something. If that doesnt work im just going to reinstall previous version.

    Ah, OK. Yes there may not be a way around that. I've already submitted a ticket to verify that windows with work on screens down to at least 768 height.

    Previous version didn't have this issue for me. Can't I just export anyways and change version code in manifest file? As android exports is only ones where you need to adjust version code, then build code. So that may be the best workaround for now. Just edit manifest file then compile in eclipse. Thanks bud.

    Yes, you could do that. We know why it happened now and we are going to create a more flexible design for the settings window.
