[jani8787]

@jani8787 Can you just attach the video directly here?

[jani8787]

Hi, The pin is display fusion program, but I try to exit from that and the same result. I can not attach the video here, because no option for video, only pics. But you can see everything on the video from my GDrive. Additional info that I have an extra monitor with HDMI and on the main screen it is good, the mentioned problem exist only on the extended monitor. Please check it.

The upload link here says "Paste, drop, or click to add files". All types of files can be added, nothing specific here about pictures or videos.

But you can see everything on the video from my GDrive

Well, I for one don't click links that I don't know, and don't use GDrive at all, so...
Maybe others don't mind clicking on your link.
Good luck with your problem.

As you were told, always paste here at least your Notepad++ menu > ? > Debug Info...

I cannot reproduce your issue (Win10, portable x64 N++ v8.5.8) but the others can: Through the title bar or in #8660 .

Do you have a multi-monitor setup?
If so maybe this workaround could help you: #8660 (comment)

[jani8787]

Yes I have 2 monitor. And this behaviour exist on second one. If I try that workarround the second monitor will be good BUT the first will have the same mentioned bug :( (originally the first working well!)

IMO - Notepad++ probably needs:

• to be re-declared as the "Per-monitor V2" aware (there were already such attempts, but without the next point)
• to properly handle the Windows WM_DPICHANGED, in the current state it does only this:
  

  notepad-plus-plus/PowerEditor/src/NppBigSwitch.cpp

  Lines 3441 to 3444 in 7deb12a

  	case WM_DPICHANGED:
  	{
  	return TRUE;
  	}

Unfortunately I do not have a free time for this but maybe someone else...

See #9381 on known problems with "Per-monitor" and "Per-monitor V2", reverted with 47ca528#diff-5acdbb8328ec6234d363ac589eff2634d41f8ad9bc6ce8b7a98cde64cff5ec0f

@chcg

Thanks. Yes, this is exactly what I meant before.

IMO - these previous attempts failed because one cannot simply declare an app as Per-monitor aware without proper WM_DPICHANGED handler. Returning TRUE there only is a nonsense. N++ will need to manually resize and reposition its GUI stuff according to the received WM_DPICHANGED lParam.

#8660 (comment)

Finally it help me BUT not with system:

"The workaround I use is right click the notepadd++.exe>properties>compatibility>change high DPI settings>Override...>change to "system"",

NOT system good for me, it works for me properly on both monitor with "APPLICATION"

Thanks for the help for all!
