First-off: THANK YOU for the 7 beta, everything feels so snappy and quick.

This is not a bug: It'd be great, for a full immersive experience when writing and doing research, that Zotero can be made compatible with MacOS's split view. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948

Much obliged!

Edit: ensure that you have already carefully consulted apple's guide above!

    It is already compatible

    I'm not sure.. see attached screenshot of the options when hover around the green button on the menu bar. https://i.imgur.com/CNK5FbW.png

    Note that it doesn't say "Tile Window to Left of Screen” or ”Tile Window to Right of Screen” from the menu" per apple's website. And, I tried manually merging two full-screened apps, it doesn't work.

    OK. I see now I wen too fast. I can put zotero to the left or the right, but no other application is offered to be opened in the other side, as it should be. So yes, there is a problem

    I don't use Split View, but I'm not seeing a problem here. In Zotero 7, I have "Tile Window to Left of Screen" and "Tile Window to Right of Screen" when hovering over the green button. If I put it on either side, I can then click on any other window in the other half of the screen and interact with both.

    Solved

    Thanks @poettli - I had not realised that this is perhaps a Apple Silicon problem (which is why I flagged my issue as feature request), your painstaking troubleshooting convinced me otherwise.

    @dstillman It seems now that it is a bug but I sadly cannot help further with diagnosis for I only have one machine at hand... Nevertheless, sorry for the nit-picking.

    No, nothing to do with Apple Silicon — it’s working for me on two different Apple Silicon Macs.

    Mystery solved, I had “Displays have separate Spaces” is turned off. Apologies everyone.

    I already had “Displays have separate Spaces” turned on when I tried yesterday. A restart of the laptop solved the problem for me.
