Hi Callum, Working from home today so my laptop is without (2 more) office monitors attached. The context menu now displays at the correct size and is the same size as its sub-menu. The laptop display is still at 200% scaling. So scaling on its own is not the issue. Perhaps it is the interaction of the additional monitors at 100% scaling and the laptop display at 200%. The work displays are HD 1080 and the laptop is UHD 3840 - at only 13" the text is miniscule at 100%. In the image above, I was running Affinity Photo 2.5.5 on the laptop display. Affinity Designer is also 2.5.5. No third party scaling apps although the work monitors are driver via USB-C through a docking station - so there may be a docking station display driver in the mix. When I am in the office again next week, I shall do some more testing to see if the issue persists. I can't test here as I don't have USB-C monitors or adapters. Thanks, Sadler

Context menus do not scale. The screenshot shows Photo browsing through a context menu where the root menu doesn't respect desktop scaling while sub-menus do (larger font). When scaling is 100% both root and sub-menus have the same text size. Same for Photo and Designer on Windows 10 (display scaling at 200%).

100% is to be expected? Desktop 2023.06.18 - 15.22.10.01.mp4

In this version when I try to access help I see a crash. Message, "An Unhandled Exception has occurred and the application cannot continue. The Crash Reference dialog will be displayed when the application is restarted. Code 0x000005". No crash dialogue is shown on restarting the app. Note, if I leave this message up without clicking "OK" I can use the app and the help as normal. When I then click OK the app and the help disappear leaving this in the event viewer: Faulting application name: Designer.exe, version: 1.5.0.18, time stamp: 0x57e2c9e7 Faulting module name: vorbis.acm, version: 0.0.3.6, time stamp: 0x50a51541 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000001f4f Faulting process ID: 0x2dcc Faulting application start time: 0x01d2183302eed9c5 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Serif\Affinity Designer Public Beta\Designer.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\vorbis.acm Report ID: a1a94f18-453c-4f6d-addc-14d0d53238c6 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

For me too.
