I had created multiple screenshots; one for each dialog where control text overlapped other controls. However, this forum will only allow me to include a single screenshot since this is my first post.
No conversion logs are necessary as this is a GUI issue not a conversion issue.
From what I can tell, my DPI setting is set to normal (the slider is in the middle). I’m noticing this while using Remote Desktop from a Windows 8.1 computer to connect to the Windows Server 2016 server running MCEBuddy. No custom scaling is set.
When using RDP, you actually can’t change the settings of the remote session. They are all disabled when you visit the dialog in the remote session. So it’s difficult to tell what the actual settings are.
Okay, so the default scaling factor in Windows 8.1 is 150% (what they refer to as “Larger”). So this is getting passed though to the server and sure enough that’s what’s causing the GUI display issues.
I found this registry setting that resolves the problem by disabling honoring the client display scaling factor:
MCEBuddy does support higher scaling but we’ve only been able to test it upto 133%. Beyond that’s a little challenging as you can see the text size would need to made much smaller which may become difficult to read.
