macOS - Github Desktop opens to a white screen and is unresponsive (AirPlay display and DisplayLink)

See original GitHub issue

Description

Opening the app, the app window is completely unresponsive, though I can get to the menu just fine. It is similar to this issue over on windows 10, but this I am on macOS:

https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4054

I have tried clearing the Library data, but may not have found all the spots needed… This will explain why there is no signin or repository data shown in the console screen grab.

Version

GitHub Desktop: 1.3.2

Operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.5

Steps to Reproduce

click Github Desktop icon
App loads but only shows white screen.

Expected Behavior

App to open normally

Actual Behavior

Just an unresponsive white screen

@PeterBowater thanks for the extra context, and I’m glad you were able to workaround it!

I’m going to close this out because I’m not sure what else Desktop can do currently to avoid that, but this is great to refer back to if someone else stumbles upon it in the future.

@seangabel I would recommend reaching out to the vendor for hardware support
