Currently evaluating MM5 for Windows. Questions

[jwhitworth]

I have noticed that the pop up menu that appears when I right click a track is "clipped" I am running Windows 11 Pro with a 4K monitor. I have modified the "Scale & Layout" - "Scale" to 150% (if that matters)? Is this an issue with not actually having bought a new license? This would be a deal breaker. Also I thought that at the bottom of that pop up menu would be "Properties"

Upon further use I notice that all menus are truncated. What is going on?

After more tinkering. Have to leave text size setting at 100%. Any increase messes up MM5. I have no intention of running my system at such small font size.

Tried MM2024 and problem persists.

Using latest build 5.0.5.2695

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey 2024 and which Skin are you still seeing this with?

[jwhitworth]

3043. With the MetroM (Classic) skin.

It even happens when I run the system at 1080. The changing of text size in the accessibility setting is the culprit.

[Lowlander]

Please update to the latest MediaMonkey 2024 release which is currently 3078.

Please let us know if the issue isn't already fixed for you.

[jwhitworth]

Problem is still there.

Is Windows 11 up-to-date? I have no issues with either font size or everything set to 150% (on Windows 10). Do you see the same issue with the Material Design Skin?

[jwhitworth]

Yes. Windows 11 is up to date.

There are two places to adjust scaling.

The first is Setting -> System -> Display -> Scale & Layout -> Scale -> 150% recommended. Changing this to the 150% recommended does not create a problem for Media Monkey. That setting also leaves text size too small for me.

The second place is under Setting -> Accessibility - Text Size. If any increase (even to something insignificant like 103%) is made to this setting Media Monkey will truncate/clip menu pop ups.

[Lowlander]

So you're adjusting both settings? Even then I can't reproduce on 2024.0.0.3078 and Win10. This should've been fixed already. Asked a developer on Win11 to check.

[jwhitworth]

My desire is to run my system in 4K with both setting at 150%. The culprit seems to be the Accessibility text size scaling. My system is as follows:

Windows 11 Pro
ASUS ROG Strix B760-I motherboard
Intel Core i7-12700K
SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280

Hi,

I've tested this on Win11 (2560x1080, text scale 150%) and am not seeing any issues.

Note: Setting -> System -> Display -> Scale & Layout -> Scale -> Text Size is a shortcut to the accessibility setting. Maybe try via that approach?

-Rusty

p.s. does restarting MM after you've made the change solve anything?

[jwhitworth]

When I change Display -> Scale & Layout -> Scale -> Text Size to 150% it does not change the Accessibility Text Size setting. They appear independent.

I close all programs when making changes.

[CrashMonkey]

Yes. Windows 11 is up to date.

Is this Windows 11 23H2 or 24H2?

I have tested it on 23H2 with all updates, and with both settings you said you changed, my menu's look good.
I kept all programs open, when i did the changes..

For dev's: Could upgrade from 5.0.5.2695 to 2024 cause any issues with an old json file or something like that?

[jwhitworth]

23H2

This system was built over a year ago but I kept using an old system (did not want to mess with the migration). I installed MediaMonkey_5.0.4.2693 but I did not really change any settings and notice the problem back then. I recently decided to deploy the new machine and updated to 2095. That was the first time I noticed the issue.

Can you make a printscreen of how to menu's look truncated, and upload it to imgur.com and post a link back?
