Mac on web launcher - unable to change screen resolution

Hi testers, I have ran into a major problem on the Mac with the new web launcher. Everytime I try to go into full screen or windowed mode, it does not work and I end up having to play in the web browser. I am also having issues loading the bug reporting site on the Mac to actually send my report. Any other Mac testers seeing this issue?

I did a couple quick tests and both windowed and fullscreen worked alright for me. What browser are you using? I used Firefox, haven't yet tried in Safari or Chrome.

My only problem was the graphics sometimes looked weird and distorted.
Look at the difference between switching from windowed to fullscreen:



and switching from web page to fullscreen:



I don't understand what would make that difference but changing fullscreen from 800x600 to 1024x768 under game options fixed the distortion in the second shot (and made it a good bit prettier too).

Also, the screenshots were darn near impossible to find and the "screenshot captured" text when you take it disappears so quick I had to take 6 shots just to read it all.
For myself and anyone else searching for screenshots:

Then you are doing better than me, I can't even get the game to work at all using Safari. I'm not getting any farther than I got when I tried it out as soon as the feature was released (when it didn't work at all for Mac).
