[Bug] RC2 - export preview affected by display scaling


Recommended Posts

100% doc window vs 100% export window? JPG export.

Hint: I have configured Windows with display scaling at 117% (but I can't image why it would affect the pixel preview).

It probably is the scaling; it doesn't occur on my work machine with no scaling configured.

It IS display scaling. Just tried logging in and out and trying with and without display scaling:

And here it is really obvious: document window at 117% - export preview 100%

Which "Display Scaling" option did you change to get to 117%? The "Advanced scaling settings"? I do note the text says, "Enter a custom scaling size between 100% - 500% (not recommended)" 😬

We'll reproduce and try to fix, because there shouldn't be a discrepancy between the two views! Thanks!

Yep. No other bitmaps are affected other than your preview. I have zero issues in any program I run otherwise. Affinity adjusts beautifully.

I have a feeling the not recommended relates to the never ending backwards compatibility concerns Microsoft have struggled with since Windows 95.

So do you have the "main" Display Scale set to 100%, but then the advanced scaling set to 117%?

Yes.

Just discovered I can also just adjust only text size - but the result is less "complete". Some texts are not affected. Advanced scaling is better.

Verifying, just a sec.

Yep, main 100%, advanced 117%. 

Advanced makes everything look cool - and easier to the eye on a high res screen.

Just font scaling (bitmap fonts are not scaled and are still tiny):

Below advanced scaling - bitmap UI font is replaced with vector - this may not look good in old software - or may not work -  I guess that is what the not recommended is about:
