VirtualBox Manager fonts size issue with display extended

Post by virtualsaver »

Dear group,

I am running VM on a Win 10 latptop , by default with Scale and Layout setting to 150%.
I have an external monitor connected in In extended mode, by default with Scale and Layout setting to 100%.

Running VirtualBox Manager, moving from one display to another, on the first display fonts size are fine, on the second there is a scaling issue

In attach logs and printscreen

Right-click C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox\Virtualbox.exe and/or VirtualboxVM.exe, Compatibility tab. Try the settings in "Change HiDPI settings".

I have tried, no change, see attachment

Simply, once moving VM VirtualBox Manager from screen 1 to 2 menu fonts are smaller than expected, moving back to screen 1 is fine.

The issue is only related to this UI
