Bug fix: Flare 2019 Mac UI Display shrinks with External UHD HDMI Display on MBP

Trying to run flare on 2018 MacBook Pro i9.

Runs great with no external display.

Add UHD external display and UI on MBP screen shrinks to upper 1/4 of display when HDMI output is set to Viewport. Works ok when set to UI, but I need this system to screen UHD VFX work, not look at a bunch of scopes.

With the MBP display shrunk, Playback of UHD material on external display is excellent and easily plays long UHD 16bit clips at full speed.

If I close the MBP screen and try to run on external display only, playback drops to >6fps.

Either solution would be ‘good enough’. No MBP screen but decent playback on external UHD or fixing built in to not shrink when using HDMI as video out.

Was told by support to buy IO4k or UltraStudio4k but my recollection is that these devices are for flame only. Please Advise.

TIA
