DPI Scaling issue

edited March 2020 in SmartSDR for Windows
I changed monitors and now have the DPI Scaling issue - how to solve?  I changed from a 1920 x 1080 to a 1920 x 1200 monitor and now my frequency is overlapped by the TX field just as others have experienced.  I'm running at 100% and NO Napoli fonts.  Tim's answer to others with this issue is "It's a DPI scaling issue" but this tells me nothing.  What do I do about it?  SmartSDR is the ONLY application out of dozens of apps that has the problem.

    My computer Windows 10 is set for 1920 X 1080 and everything works normal..My monitor is a LG 1080P monitor fed by a HDMI cable..I would just set your WEindows 10 settings to what works best for FLEX and other software.. It is my understanding that 1220 X 1080 is the preferred default for Windows so programmers work around this setting... Your computer video card may have defaulted the settings to 1920 X 1080??

    Sorry but 1) every other application I use (dozens) looks just fine, 2) only the frequency display in SmartSDR has the problem.  All the rest of SmartSDR looks fine.  This is a Flex SmartSDR programming issue.  As a 38 year programmer I know it's easiest for users to try to adapt to quirks in the software, but software is written to serve users not the other way around.  This needs to be fixed.  If I don't find someone here who has found the fix I'll open a Ticket with Flex.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
