Black screen when opening magic

Hi,

I’m having some problems with Magic tonight. I have been playing with the resolution of the magic window as I wanted it to be like a portrait phone size so I changed it to 1080 x 1920. It worked fine and I was making some visuals but then I closed Magic and when I reopened it from the dock (I’m using a MacBook Pro) it says it’s normal thing like loading modules etc… but then after that the whole MacBook screen goes black and only shows the arrow.

Please could anyone help out?

Thanks

Perhaps you've accidentally enabled "Magic Windows Options > Start in full screen"? Just do Ctrl+F to exit.
