Dual Monitor Development Error: Cursor Pointer and Screen Views

Problem : 

 

I am currently using an M1 PRO MacBook with dual monitors in FULL-HD quality. I have my code on the MacBook screen and the webview on the dual monitors. I thought it would work fine, but the cursor pointer doesn't work in FULL-HD and the CSS event effects look different.

Explanation for CSS Event and Cursor Pointer Issues on Dual Full-HD Monitors with M1 Pro MacBook

Using dual monitors with Full-HD resolution on an M1 Pro MacBook, where the MacBook screen displays code and the dual monitor displays a web view, might seem like it should work without issues. However, if the cursor pointer and CSS event effects do not work correctly on the Full-HD monitors, there could be several reasons for this. Here are some possible explanations:

1. Resolution and DPI Settings Issue

Differences in resolution or DPI settings between the MacBook and the dual monitors can cause CSS effects or cursor pointers to not work as expected. This is especially true when using a Retina display and a non-Retina display together.

• Solution: Check the display settings in System Preferences and adjust the resolution and DPI settings. Try matching the resolution of both monitors or adjusting the scaling.

2. Browser Compatibility Issue

CSS effects might look different on specific browsers or browser versions. In a dual monitor setup, the browser might render differently on each monitor.

• Solution: Test the web page on different browsers to see if the issue is specific to one browser. Update the browser to the latest version or try using a different browser.

3. CSS Code Issue

There might be issues within the CSS code itself, causing bugs that appear only at certain resolutions.

• Solution: Use media queries in your CSS to apply styles specific to Full-HD resolution. For example:

@media (max-width: 1920px) {
  .your-class {
    cursor: pointer;
    /* other styles */
  }
}

4. Hardware Acceleration Issue

The browser's hardware acceleration feature might cause problems, especially in a dual monitor setup.

• Solution: Turn off or on the hardware acceleration in the browser settings and see if this resolves the issue.

5. Operating System and Driver Issue

There might be issues with the MacBook's operating system or graphics drivers, particularly after a new OS update.

• Solution: Update macOS and graphics drivers to the latest version. Also, recheck the display settings in System Preferences.

6. Specific Web Page Issue

If the issue occurs only on a specific web page or web application, there might be a problem with the code of that particular page.

• Solution: Inspect the code of the problematic web page and test if the same issue occurs on other pages.

Try these methods one by one to resolve the issue. If the problem persists, please provide more specific information for further assistance.
