It seems like the text is harder to read for me. The text seems fuzzier. I’m not sure if it’s the recent update, but I don’t remember thinking about this being a problem before. Here’s what it looks like:

I’m on Windows 10 with dual big monitors. I would be glad to provide more system info if needed.

Hi @BenSlade

I’m sorry to hear about the fuzzy text! Out of curiosity, do you have any of the advanced scaling options set within Windows? For reference, here is a screenshot:

My “Fix scaling for apps” is set to “on”. Custom scaling is not filled in (it’s null)

But in the Settings-\>Display menu, I was using 1680x1050 when the recommended setting is 1920x1080. I changed it to the recommended setting and I think that did help.

I believe I’m on 4.5.3 or 4.5.4 because the UI has dramatically changed. I’m on Windows 11 and NONE of the menus or drop-down lists are working. I left-click on them and the box around the text flashes (drop-down lists) or toggles to a lighter background color and back, but nothing drops down and so all of the menus and drop-down selection boxes will do anything! The application is completely broken for entering new entries, editing any entries, syncing, updating, anything except viewing old entries.

The right-click menus also seem to be disabled within the Codebook window. I can right-click on the frame, but not in the window.

Thanks,  
JMH

Oddly, I started Codebook again a few hours later and everything seems to be working as expected. Drop-downs drop, right-click menu works, and menu tabs open properly. I’m on 4.5.4.0. I’m not sure what’s going on. I was having no trouble with any other applications, just Codebook and the problem only seemed to effect clicks within the Codebook window and Alt-letter menu shortcuts.

Thanks,
