Inter line change after moving back from high DPI monitor

Post by *serg_joker »

HI,
TC 9.10
I've got 3 monitors, 2 of them with 96DPI, the third - high DPI ( not sure exactly which DPI itis, but it's 4kscreen on 15''laptop). The main monitor is 96DPI.
Sequence is like this:
1. Start TC on main ( 96DPI ) display.
2. Move to 4K (High DPI) display. Font is changed, everything feels good.
3. Move window back to main monitor. Font is adjusted properly, but inter-line distance in file panel gets bigger.
Good picture ( beffore any movements )

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it.

Please right click on the desktop and choose the second menu item from the bottom. It should be something like "Display settings".

Then please report for each screen from left to right
1. The screen resolution (e.g. 1920x1080)
2. The DPI value (e.g. 96)
3. Which of the screens from the left is the main screen

Please also try to log out (via user icon in the start menu) and back in, this often fixes screen scaling problems.

Hi Christian,
1) 1920x1200 scale 100% DPI96 - 24'' monitor
2) 2560x1600 scale 100% DPI96 - 30'' Monitor
3) 3840x2160 scale 200% DPI ~300 ( no idea exactly, it's 15.6'' laptop Lenovo p51 )

The main is #2.

If you wan't we could arrange session with skype/teamviewer/whatever.

Sergey.

Just verified: if I set scale for #3 to 100% the problem is not reproduced.
Also, it's not just panels problem, main menu suffers form this as well.

Of course not - when all screens use the same scale factor, TC doesn't need to resize its window.

Nice to hear that - I didn't really expect that my change would work! All I do is call an additional "InvalidateRect" to refresh the window when receiving a WM_DPICHANGE message. This should redraw the main window and the two file panels.

Well, the way Windows deals with DPI ( both user part and API ) looks and behaves a bit strange.
Anyway, you're the man, thank you for your great support!
