Column auto-width not working perfectly when in Remote Desktop with different DPI's

Hello

I'm on Windows 11, with xyplorer version 28.30.0200 64-bit (but I don't think the version is the problem).

I'm on a 2880x1920 windows tablet (using 150% scaling) to log in to my main desktop PC (which has a 1920x1080 resolution on a 100% scaling normally).

When I launch XYplorer on the remote desktop PC, it launches ok, however, the column auto-width does not function properly.

The filenames should be visible without truncations due to ample size, however, they are cut off. If I manually resize the name column to fit the filename, on the next file operation, the auto-resize kicks in and truncates it.

See the following screenshots.

The 64-bit version has known issues with multiple monitors with different DPI. Anyway, paste screen; into the XY address bar and press ENTER; post the return.

Thanks! Actually, this should be working. Check out your settings under Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns. There might be some limits in effect that explain what you see.

I had 800 at autosize columns maximum width (so in high resolutions, it got truncated), when I did it 0, it worked.

Mark it as not bugged at all, after all. Thanks!
