Bug: invisible windows when display scaled to 150% (Windows)

PostMon Oct 10, 2022 2:06 pm

There are still at least two windows, which do not get properly rendered when the display in Windows 10+ is scaled to 150% (which is Microsoft-recommended setting for large 4K monitors).
There used to be more like that, but fortunately were fixed in DVR16.
But at least two still linger:

The "change speed window" looks like this:

The "change duration" window looks like this:

All that happens when the screen scaling is set to 150% (or rather: when it is not 100%):

This happens on all DVR studio versions since at leat v17. I'm now on 18.0.4

Here is another one - the Timeline view options

As all mentioned before - they disappear when moving mouse over it or pressing a TAB to move between the editable elements in the window

They do, but this is not OK. Windows defaults to 150% and this should be respected.
By the way, currently DVR works quite well in 150% (which was not the case before DVR16).

In the past BMD programmers fixed some of other similar problems, so it is possible. The developers likely just don't know that the problem exists.

That's why I point these problems out.
