PWB Display Size Issue

Post by Thomas »

Hi- I have used PWB v2 on Windows 7 previously without any issues. However I am trying to work with it on a new Dell laptop and am having a problem with the display. Internet Explorer 9 will display pages just fine, but when using PWB, the pages are displayed like they are zoomed out several times.

I have tried using a default INI file, changing the "Zoom" and "Text Size" setting, and adding the "BrowserEmulation" option, all with the same results.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
I added 2 screen shots to show what I am trying to explain.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom

What version of PWB are you using including the minor revision number, for example 2.11.7?

Hi Scott-
I have tried the following versions:
2.10.9
2.11.3
2.11.7

The 2.11 versions gave the same result; 2.10.9 was a little larger than the other 2.11 versions.
I have checked the zoom level on each and each version is set at 100%.

Thanks-
Tom

Where are you checking the zoom level?

You can try using the key combination "Ctrl +" and "Ctrl -" to change the zoom level.

In PWB version 2.11.7 set the following in the INI file.

[Browser]
DefaultZoomLevel=100
DefaultFontSize=2

I had both those options set in the INI file.

The Ctrl +/- does work to increase the zoom, but the button indicates that it is at 100% to begin with.

Thanks-
Tom

Where are you seeing the "zoom" level?

I have the Zoom button enabled in the toolbar. In the screenshot it shows the current % in the parentheses.

I have resolved the issue.
Apparently, the default setting for Windows on these new laptops was to "zoom" in to 125%.

I have changed this setting and it has resolved the issues with PWB.

Thank you for all of your help Scott!
