Describe the bug

there is a DPI bug of the toolbat in the windows explorer.

i have 2 Monitors.
Monitor 1: 32", 3840x2160, DPI: 175%
Monitor 2: 27", 1920x1080, DPI: 100%.
I have a different DPI scaling for each monitor so,
that the windows, symbols and text appear about the same size on both monitors.

bug 1:
the scaling do not switch, if i move the explorer-window between the monitors.
so the toolbar smaller on Monitor 1 as compared to monitor 2.

bug 2:
sometimes, the toolbar symbols disappear completely,
if i move the explorer-window between the monitors.
only empty space is left.

Area of issue

Windows Explorer

To reproduce

  • use 2 or more monitor setup
  • set scaling DPI different (monitor 1: 175% / monitor 2: 100%)
  • open explorer window, with open shell toolbar enabled.
  • move explorer window between windows
  • close explorer window
  • repeat open, move & close

Expected behavior

  • toolbar do not disappear
  • toolbar following the changing scaling of the windows explorer.

Open-Shell version

4.4.190 and earlier versions

Windows version

Windows 11 22H2

Additional context

error appears on all versions
at least since v4.4.170 (stable).

error appears on windows 10 & 11. (all versions)

In my hazy memory, I believe it still worked under classic shell.
but can't check it at the moment.
