Imagine using a mac, eh?

Hi, Im one of the like, 10 people in the world who plays EU IV on a macbook (I know, how disgusting). And following the recent update(s) I can no longer tab out of the game when it is open. It used to be we had to press cmd cntrl Q and it would bring up a menu to restart the computer, and we could hit cancel and it would trick the game into allowing us to tab out. Now however it just makes the whole screen black, and theres nothing you can do but hit esc, which doesnt do anything for you.
This basically makes the game not worth playing, since not being able to tab out means I cant do anything at all when Im playing. Cant check discord, cant check my email, cant watch streams on Twitch, cant complain on the forums to all the developers who I'm sure care so much.
This is a problem that concerns both Paradox and Apple, so dont nobody go passing the blame around. But if theres some way to fix this, I (and the 9 othe rpeople mentioned above) would very much appreciate it, as it would allow me to return to what is objectively one of the best games in the world.
For comparison, HoI IV does not have this problem, nor do any other game, Paradox or not (at least that I've played). Only EU IV

Thanks -Santoast24

What if you put the game in borderless or windowed display mode?

Unfortunately when you do that it doesnt fit the screen. I guess I could just get used to never knowing how much money, manpower, or sailors I have (or my stability or anything else). And playing arround with different resolutions and everything, either the top of the screen is blocked, the bottom of the screen is blocked, or, usually, both. But its a good idea in principal.

Borderless ought to be visually identical to fullScreen. Are you running the game in the same resolution as your Mac's desktop? If not please try that.
