#1857 DPI scaling

[Anonymous]

I have a high dpi screen on my laptop (set to 150% scaling in Windows 10). With standard settings, Texstudio is unusable because all buttons are too small, even with a mouse. So I scaled them up via the advanced settings - but now, on an external (100% scaling) screen, the whole UI is messed up (see screenshot).

It would be nice to observe dpi scaling like almost every other program since 2005.

hg 6143 (5873d666903c) implements a partial patch for the editor (see also [bugs:#1506]):

It works now if you select:
Options -> Advanced Editors -> Workarounds -> Disable cache of rendered lines

Correct rendering while using the line cache is still an open issue. These same is true for the other UI elements.

Note: Please save yourself unqualified comments like "It would be nice to observe dpi scaling like almost every other program since 2005.". They just set me up and do not add any value to your post or a possible solution. This problem is related to different scalings in a multi-monitor setup. Per monitor dpi scaling was not available before Windows 8 (2012). Apart from that it's still an open issue in a number of frameworks and applications (e.g. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-49745)
