I do see the screen flicker just a bit (.25 seconds or so) (red/yellow) just before the thumbnail size bug appears.

Last resort, can you note the exact time a bug happens and paste the log from that run (it starts with avInit1) ?.

When I enable the clock using the 'show with clock' option I CANNOT reproduce the issue, the screensaver seems to run fine. When I do this, the text of the saver including the clock appears more or less in the middle of the small thumbnail and the issue can still be reproduced. Does that fix ? If that does not, does the clock show in tiny text on top of the tiny video, or normal sized in a corner ?

Can you enable the clock in Aerial's Text tab (with show seconds, and pick Always show at the top of that window).

you got this mac correct ? With Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 ?.Frequency of it happenning/not happening (roughly) ?.

SCREEN SAVER MAC PLUGED IN SOFTWARE

I never connect a external monitor, no 3rd party software for screen management

Do you sometimes connect an external monitor or never ? Do you use some sort of 3rd party software for your screen management if so ?.

No system preferences is closed when the issue occurs

Do you happen to keep System Preferences open all the time ?.

I would say the size when the bug happens is very close to the size in syspref, although the one on the display just might be a bit larger

Eyeballing it, would you say the tiny thing you see on your screen when the bug happens is the same size as the one in the box (in syspref from screenshot above) on your system ? Or is it larger ?.

Did you disable all the text features (so no text displaying at all ? I don't see a clock or a description on your screenshot) ?.

Setting is: Play Aerials on All Displays, Independent, Fill Screen

Can you confirm your settings in Displays tab (something like : All displays, Independent, Fill Screen ?).

Usually enabling one of the clocks fixed that bug by forcing something else than a video to be displayed (the workaround adds a faint dot in a corner to trick the driver).

I supposedly have a workaround in place that works though (that's this line you see in logs 16:26:09 : Using dot workaround for video driver corruption) but maybe my workaround sometimes fails for some systems in Catalina ? This was a high sierra bug but it came back in Catalina beta so I reenabled that workaround for everyone now. There's been recurring bugs with the Intel driver if you just play a video with no text at all, although usually it just corrupts the whole screen. If I had to make a rough guess, I could see maybe a video driver corruption issue if you disabled all text. I know it's a lot but thanks for your help.

I didn't find an instance where that size was wrong, so it's probably something else happening. This is where I decide how large the view should be. I did check your log, I tried to parse through the last couple of days but I don't see anything obviously wrong there being reported.Īerial gets told by system how large it's view has to be, to give you an example :
