Unusual font when snapping an application

zl PINHEAD lz · Sep 9, 2014

After opening an application, i double press the 'xbox' button to snap another application side by side to what is currently open.

The side bar is then loaded displaying the available apps that can be snapped.

Again double pressing the 'xbox' button opens up a new menu giving me the option of 'Achievements, snap an app, snap and unsnap.

Both 'snap an App' and 'Unsnap' are displayed in an very unusual font.

The OS version installed is 6.2.11617.0 (xb_rel_1410.140904-1111) fre

Thought this may be worth posting, thanks.

Totally unrelated, but why do your posts look like that? A lot of it is cut off so that you can't read it, and the font is unusual for this forum.

What is Microsoft doing?

I would recommend hard resetting the Xbox One after any long gaming session, if you use a lot of applications, or if you experience any laggy snaps etc. Clearing the cash and closing applications does wonders for speed and functionality.

It's quite normal for new updates. What you are seeing is 'Pseudo Text' and is simpy a placeholder for non US languages / character sets.

They get fixed as the updates progress.

You can find it in a few places on the latest preview update.

If you are snapped you could be synced to the snapped application with your controller, rather than the game running in the background. When it freezes are you still snapped?

Snap allows you to snap an application on the side when you are playing a game, watching TV, etc. Its basically multitasking.

You can't disable the snap app.

When you press the Xbox button what are you expecting? For it to go to Dashboard?

What app is it snapping for you? Is it the Achievements app?

Try the following:

Load any full screen game

Press the Xbox Button, if it snaps an app, highlight the snapped application

Press the MENU button (3 lines where START used to be on Xbox 360)

Select Go Full Screen

When the application goes full screen

Press the Xbox Button

It should take you back to the Dashboard, then just load your game of choice and now apps shouldn't snap unless you tell them to.
