Sidecar issue on Catalina when Truetone or Night Shift are on

The display of my 2019 MacBook Pro 13" (2 TB ports) shows color glitches when connecting to my iPad via Sidecar and while TrueTone or Night Shift are on. Specifically, the shaded areas around windows appear glitched and the whites appear not color-matching with the current temperature set by TrueTone/Night Shift.

Yep, the same issue here as well, it's a big glitch and is only avoidable when True Tone is turned off. Turning off True Tone and turning it back on while Sidecar is in function will sometimes help but usually not, hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I'm also having this issue.


I've yet to get wireless sidecar working but when wired with True Tone enabled the shadows around windows are "glitched".


I figured out this is only the case when using the built-in Intel UHD Graphics 630 GPU, if the Radeon Pro 560X GPU is active then True Tone functions as expected. Would seem to suggest that there is an issue with the built-in Intel driver and Side Car.

Oddly, switching to Radeon graphics card works for me as well. But once I switch back to Intel UHD, the glitches are back. I guess I will have to use the more power consuming Vega card when I use Sidecar, until they fix the bug.


And the problem occurs for me on Intel Graphics card when either True Tone or Night Shift is enabled.
