Floating window display issue

[Mike96]

Hi!

When I open Element properties window (CTRL+T) I often experience a display issue. Properties grouped under one category are shown only partially. The window area is "cut" as if I had too little space on my screen or too few pixels to display entire window properly. That's not the case - my screen is set to FullHD resolution. No matter how I rescale the window or fold/unfold categories, some buttons are hidden. In some windows scrolling is not possible and then I'm stuck. I just cannot manipulate some properties.
It not only concerns Doors and windows properties but many more. And it's only problem with ArchiCAD. Other programs on my computer don't generate such problem.

I'm on Windows 7 Professional, DELL Precision M4600, ArchiCAD 21.

Any suggestions appreciated.

So you have tried collapsing the top pane?

What is your screen resolution - it looks very small for a full HD screen.
What % are you scaling your screen by?

I only have a standard monitor running at 1920 x 1080 and I seem to have much more display area than you.

Try dragging the top or bottom of the dialogue and the preview window will resize and to should see the rest of the section you want.

Barry Kelly, my screen resolution is 1920x1080 too.

"What % are you scaling your screen by?" - this question I don't understand. You mean the attached screenshot? It's 1:1, no rescaling.

Certainly, I tried collapsing each pane one by one and entire window too. It would help if individual panes were resizable in ArchiCAD. Maybe it could be a feature request.

I mean what is your display settings in your WINDOWS operating system settings.
It looks to me that you are scaling to a higher % if your dialogues don't fit on the screen.

Nope, my screen is on its full-res.

Yes your resolution may be 1920 x 1080, but I am pretty sure you are scaling your screen to more than 100%.

At 1920 x 1080 at 100% scaling, you should see much more of the dialogue boxes in Archicad.

Just look at the difference in these images if I set my screen scaling to 125%.


Compared to when it is at 100%.

Wow, it looks like it'll work.
Thank you for your help!
