Post subject: | Workshelf has become increasingly unstable. |
I'm using this monitor setup. 2 x 4K / 120Hz screens. Both at 150% zoom. Left is a QDOLED PG32UCDM (Main screen) 1 x 1080p 1 x 1440p 1 x Virtual monitor. I used these similar setups for years without issues but recently Workshelf's behavior is quite erratic: - Wrong size often. - Doesn't pop up when I reach the edge of the screen until I do something with some other window (like restore then minimize) happens a lot lately. - Sometimes it crashes without warnings and I think I cannot make it pop from the edge just to realize it wasn't running to start with. I have Windows 11 22H2 23585.1001 Use the standard Taskbar. No Mods. Here are videos showing some of the issues and also the version I'm in: https://youtu.be/oaqzETca_08 https://youtube.com/shorts/ZHiJo8oVdSs?feature=share Attachment: Thank you in advance. |

Hi! I think most if not all those issues might be related to screen scaling. While Winstep applications are high DPI compatible (i.e. they will work with a desktop scale other than 100%) they are NOT per-monitor high DPI compatible. In other words, ALL monitors MUST have the SAME DPI scaling (i.e. all 100%, or all 125%), otherwise Windows will lie to the Winstep application about screen resolution, etc, usually resulting in weird things like what you see in the video. |

Hi Jorge. I understand, however there is no way I can have all monitors using the same scaling simply because the monitors have different sizes. |

Well probably I'm lost in terminology. So, to clarify, I'm not using custom scaling on any monitor. But yes, I do need different scaling by monitor since they're different sizes and different PPI so I need to match them as close as I can. Anyhow I have been doing that for years with Workshelf running without issues for the most part (even switching resolutions like a mad man with DisplayFusion). I wanted to report because it has become a lot worse since I installed my other new 4K monitor. |

All monitors absolutely have to be set identically at 100 DPI or 125 DPI. The *resolution* of each monitor may vary, but not the DPI. |

There's no way I can use my monitors with the same scaling on all of them. That would make one monitor to display tiny text/objects compared to some other monitor. Anyhow....I guess I have no option. I'll see how to deal with Workshelf then. |
