Problem with dialog windows

Terisa de morgan · 07-17-2017, 04:53 AM

Hi,

Since I updated to calibre 3.0, the modal windows / dialog windows appear:

Without button to maximize
Smaller than previously, so they have to be redimensioned all the time, as the texts are all piled

Problem is not the monitor size (real, I don't know which size is calibre getting) because it happens the same at a 12" screen or 22" screen. Is there any setting I can change for this?

Thank you very much

This will be because of the high DPI auto-scaling. You should only need to resize dialog windows once, after which they will remember their new sizes. Or you can turn off the autoscaling in Preferences->Look & feel

I'll check if it remembers the size. If it doesn't... well, autoscaling will go away (no high DPI for me anyway)

Thank you very much.
