I don't understand this.
You should not run the 32bit and x64 version on different monitors to compare the UI ?

I didnt. You see that the buttons in the config dialog are not visible - after closing the dialog with ESC the app windows was resizedand moved.

Not totally clear, but did you start XY using a shortcut (LNK)? If yes, does it make a difference if you don't?

I am running the .EXE directly.

Okay, then describe your problem. I did not get it.

Have a look at my screenshots. Config dialog comes without the buttons and a lot of settings. When i cose it with ESC key, app window resizes and moves automatically.

You've been here for 16 years now, you have a problem with the display of a specific monitor, and you don't even specify the screen resolution? What's been going on lately? Is it the summer (the twinBASIC forum has also been going downhill recently)? I'm tired of pulling the worms out of everyone's noses.

I also asked thousands of times to add this little line to the profile (see screenshot). But no, almost nobody cares.

@admin - you may recall we previously tried to resolve DPI/display problems on my multiple screens a few years ago. You never could resolve the problem and decided the only fix could come from a 64bit version.

I downloaded the 64bit and am experiencing similar UI problems as @tonifelfe. My Win11 configuration is 3 displays: 1 x 1920x1200 (Lenovo Notebook) @ 125% scale & 2 x 3840x2160 (Dell monitors) @ 175% scale.

This is just an FYI. I've returned to the 32bit as it's still usable on my 2 external monitors...but just doesn't adjust to the resolution (and displays very tiny!).

I'm sure that you're very busy with more pressing fixes at this time and am happy to patiently wait.

First of all: thanks for using the Location field in your profile. Finally someone listens!

I'm sure the multi monitor issues will be solved in the 64-bit version, but as you guessed they are not the first priority right now. Thanks for your patience!

I have found a solution.

My 1st monitor was at 125% (laptop), the 2nd at 100% (big monitor).
Starting XYplorer on the first monitor and moving the window onto the 2nd monitor causes the issues.
I have set 1st monitor to 100% and it works fine everywhere.

Well, that's not such a huge revelation.

It should, of course, work with any monitor scaling, and it will.
