Display scaling error when resizing window

[thniels]

On Windows 11, the RoasTime application has a strange error which is easily reproducible.

Open the application and the scaling looks like this…

Then maximize the window and it changes to this…

It stays at the latter setting regardless what I do until the next restart.

I would much prefer the latter scaling factor, since the graphs are much more readable that way, but even if I start the application maximized, it requires a roundtrip to manual maximization to rescale.

Thanks for reaching out, we will have a look at this.

Just for info; after the latest update it still does this. Now I can just do it in three different UI scalings , which by the way is a very welcome addition to the program.

[thniels]

The program still does this on Windows. There are two similar but separate behaviours:

1. If you maximise the main window in a list view, it will scale down the UI and keep that scale when you restore the window. The actual scaling factor is difficult to ascertain, but somewhere around 75% of the opening scale. The scale is kept when you switch views.
2. If you maximise the main window in a graph view, it will scale down the UI by 50% or so and keep that scale when restored and across views.

This all happens regardless what the UI scaling settings are in the config menu, and opening the application maximised (as a property on the shortcut) also does nothing.

By the way. I hadn’t noticed that there was an out-of-band update. I just updated to 4.10.3 and it still shows this behaviour.

What is your monitor resolution and your windows display scaling?
You can find this under System->Display->Scale.

[thniels]

Four different computers, and they are…

1 @ 1920x1280 - 175%
2 @ 1920x1280 - 100%
1 @ 2560x1440 - 125%

They all show the same behaviour. The same if I reset to default values, as well as a test with RDP at an obscure resolution.

Can you try to set it to English and see if this still happens?

[thniels]

Yes, it happens in English as well. Does it not replicate?

This is what I do:

1. Open RoasTime in a normal Window, i.e., not maximised
2. Click maximise
3. It scales down to 83%

Or

1. Open RoasTime in a normal Window, i.e., not maximised
2. Click the Active tab
3. Click maximise
4. It scales down to 53%

I have tried it on a whole array of PCs with Windows 10 and 11, and it does the same thing on all computers. In all fairness, I haven’t tried on Mac or Linux yet.

It should be fixed with the incoming Client version update.
Please let us know if you still have problems when your Client version is more than v1.160.2

[thniels]

The client version when doing the tests shown to fail were v1.162.3.
