RE: [MLO] 4.x doesn't support DPI scaling

[Richard Collings]

We picked up quite a lot of these DPI issues during the private beta testing
and they were fixed.  From memory,  I think there are some challenges
involved in fixing the first problem;   but I think the second problem
should be fixable.   I spotted it just before my laptop died on me and I am
using the standard DPI on my new laptop.

Subject: [MLO] 4.x doesn't support DPI scaling

 

Recently upgraded, noticed that DPI scaling isn't accounted for in some of
the new GUI elements.

 

Here's the first instance of it I noted: http://imgur.com/57T0m

In another thread, the "configure" panel for the task properties sidebar was
mentioned and I noticed an issue there too: http://imgur.com/fcLfj

 

DPI scaling is a Windows option for making fonts appear larger, and is
enabled by default by some OEMs (such as Dell) on computers with
high-resolution monitors.  Usually, elements which are using Windows API to
gather text extents and flowing around that are fine (which is why things
like the task outline and list controls work fine) but fixed-size components
(like the properties pop-up above) don't.  Coupled with the CHM being
un-updated, this means a couple of things are non-obvious unless you look
very carefully or guess well.

 

Probably ought to be handled before finalizing the candidate; this problem
never crops up in 3.x interestingly enough.

Also when editing tasks they are chopped. The attached show the text before 
I start editing and then how its chopped when editing. This is with a DPI 
of just 120.

And here is another DPI problem at 140. Essentially the same problem that 
Joshua listed in his original post:
