Missing drop down arrow for Location field on the find files tab

Post by tablerm »

Compared to the 32bit version, I don't see a drop down arrow for the Location field in the Find Files tab in the 64bit version 28.00. Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you,

Do you mean this? Using 28.00.0006. But I'm fairly certain it's been there all along.

Please disregard - my apologies. I installed the 64bit version on another computer and re-appears. It must be something with my scaling or graphics card drivers.

Thank you,
Matthew

I'm posting again because of what I determined with my missing control on the drop down boxes. It's most likely related to my monitor setup. My monitor is an LG 34" curved ultrawide smart monitor - 3440x1440 resolution. When scaling is 100% or 125%, I'm missing the down arrow control on the drop down boxes- see attached image. However, when I scale at 150%, they re-appear and look normal.

Not a major issue and probably local to me, but any ideas?

Thank you!

Looks terrible. You have just one monitor, right? What so you get when you run screen; through the address bar?

Thank you for the response. I used to work in IT many years ago and remember how frustrating it was when the customer left out important information - that's what I just did to you!

I have 2 monitors and I'm having the problem on my secondary display (not primary). In the attached image, my secondary display is monitor 2 - scaled at 125% - where the problem exists even at 100% scaling. My primary display (monitor 1) is a 4K monitor and scaled at 150% - the problem doesn't exist on my primary display, but because the resolution is 4k, it's a little hard to see without getting up close, which is why I prefer to run xy on my secondary display (monitor 2).

The attached image is the result of screen;

Hope it helps and thank you for app and the support.

Thanks! Even in your screenshot, the "i" icon is broken. The multiple monitor issue is next on my list, and I expect a complete fix for all of these issues soon.

Try v28.00.0208. The problem should be gone.
