Sub Menus are too large

My system has a problem with Allegro 17.2. At first all of the text was to small to read and the icons too small to make out even with the Icon setting set to"large" I was able to resolve the issue by editing the properties of Allegro.exe under the tab compatibility, then selecting "Change high DPI settings", then selecting the check box "Override high DPI scaling behavior" with the setting under "Scaling performed by:" set to "System". This definitely solved the problem when I re-opened Allegro, I was very happy!!!

Until, I opened a sub-menu/drop-down. They open so large on my screen that the buttons at the bottom are not accessible and half of the text cannot be seen. This makes the program unusable. I've loaded the latest ISR and I also tried deleting the allegro.geo file but it had no affect. I'm currently at a total loss with deadlines looming... Help!!!

That was something I hadn't thought of!

Unfortunately those are already the current settings...

Ok check to make sure that Windows itself is up to date and also if you right click on the screen and go to display settings (in windows) and make sure that scale and layout is set to 100%.

To give an example here is a snip of what I get when opening a sub menu, in this case the "user preferences" menu. As you can see the bottom half of the menu is off of the screen and the "OK" button and lower selections are not accessible and there is no way to scroll down. You can also see that the screen in the background is the correct size. The sub-Menu is about 4x the size it should be.

Hi. Some questions - 1) Have you reported this to Cadence Support? 2) What Hotfix are you on? 3) Windoz 7 or 10? Again, I've never seen this display issue in all the years I've been on Allegro.
