The Add Text and Edit Text icons have disappeared

Jon Lee

Reproduction method:

   After opening the software, open 3Dx and then edit or add text; this will cause the problem shown in the image.

    I also checked this at my end in Allegro X PCB Editor tool.
    While adding or editing text styles, these five boxes include the fonts and text attributes such as justification of the text(left, center, right) and bold, italic options.

    The icon seems to be missing from the 'Options' tab now in all 25.1(P001) and 24.1(S006), 23.1(S012) versions which I have installed.

    I believe this issue is seen in the tool, irrespective of the fact that we open 3DX or not.

    It looks to be appearing in some latest versions of the tool.

    I have seen this when I first started using 25.1. The issue appears to be related to windows scaling and Allegro recognising this. When I first saw it my windows scaling was set to 150% recommended. I changed this to 100% and restarted Allegro and the icons were then visible. I then closed Allegro and changed the scaling back to 150% recommended and I could then see the icons so maybe wortth a try.

    this does appear to be a Windows DPI / scaling issue rather than something directly triggered by 3DX. I’ve seen the same behavior in 25.1 where certain UI elements don’t render when Windows scaling is >100%.
