Big Sur (orM1) menu bar black strip

M1 Air (Big Sur)

Whenever I create a second desktop and swipe over, a black strip at the right side of the menu bar appears (occasionally). I was thinking this was just a bug on Big Sur, but it hasn't been solved yet. Do you have this problem and if so are you using a M1 system?

I’ve also noticed the same thing on my MBA M1 and for the life of me can’t understand how something as simple as this bug could have passed Apple’s QA process...

I have never seen this on my M1 MBP. Just tried reproducing it with no luck. Interesting glitch.

Never noticed that on mine (MBAir M1 16/256) (Big Sur 11.3 2nd beta)

For me, although I know what to do to make it happen, it doesn't work 100%, and if it does work, you can see the size of the black strip varies. It seems it happens whenever it likes to. Its really weird

Gotta be a bug related to specific language localizations.

I changed the language setting to US (English), but it still happens, so that's not it, if that's what you meant.

Looks more like an issue that is caused by some piece of software or specific settings. I can't reproduce it no matter how hard I try.

I bought very recently a new MacBook Air (M1, 8/256) and I have occasionally the same error. (I've attached a screenshot.) I only installed very few programs (Dropbox, Zoom, Slack, Battle.net, Spotify, Pycharm, Signal). I don't know what triggers it.

I have never used a second desktop, how do you even use one.

I’ve had this on Intel-based Macs too, so I guess its a Big Sur bug.

I've experienced this a few times on both my Intel and M1 Mac mini in Big Sur. It's easy enough to git rid of though. Just quickly activate/deactivate Mission Control and it goes right away.

Work in multiple spaces on Mac

On your Mac, if the desktop becomes cluttered with open app windows, use Spaces to organize the windows into additional desktops.

ok, good to know it isn't an M1 thing. its not a serious bug, but it is annoying having to get rid of it every time, so I hope they fix it soon.
