macOS version: 14.5
Rectangle version: 0.79

Hello Ryan, I'm contacting you about this on the basis that if anyone is going to understand this issue, it'll be you!
Here is a screenshot of an email sent to the support department of Bitwig.

This was their reply...

Hi Carl​,

this is not Bitwig Studio doing this, it is the default behavior of the current macOS because of displays with webcam notches.
 
Best regards,
Bitwig Technical Support Team

To which I replied "Then why has Bitwig only just started doing this since BWS 5.2b1 and why does every other macOS app on my machine behave properly?"

Am I wide of the mark here, or are Bitwig trying to wriggle out of something which is clearly down to them?

[carlca]

It turns out that even old versions of Bitwig now misbehave which does rather indicate that it's the new version of macOS 14.5 which is the problem. Yet, all other apps on my machine do not display this incorrect behaviour which, to my mind, suggests that Bitwig is misinterpreting the information that macOS is reporting about the menu bar state...

I'll have to download Bitwig and play around with it to see if I can get a better understanding of what's going on.

I'd appreciate that! Just don't be surprised if the ability to make music on your computer becomes a infinitely deep rabbit hole, assuming you don't indulge in such activities already 😉
