PBI Desktop showing GUI with unexpectedly large/out of scale elements, requesting help, pic(s).

Hi group, first time, long time.

I haven't yet been able to track down a fix for my PBI Desktop looking so large and scaled up relative to my desktop and all other apps. Anyone seen this or have a fix? I can provide any/all

@kr-trader OK, yeah, can't replicate that on my Surface Pro. Your's is definitely wonky. What version are you on? File | Options and settings | Options | Diagnostics. Also, list any Preview features that you have turned on. I don't generally turn on Preview features.

Hi Greg_Deckler ,thanks for the quick reply, I'll add more.

Hi @kr-trader ,

Regarding your problem, I think it may be due to the scale of the screen. You can try to reduce the scale of the screen.

There are times when a scale is perfect for every other application on the computer, but Power BI is the one that displays incorrectly.

You can also try changing the font size

@kr-trader Odd. What is your screen resolution?

2880 x 1920, scale set to 200%. Surface pro, fwiw:

So you don't enable any preview features at all? I have many active:

@kr-trader OK, I have a Surface Pro somewhere, let me give it a whirl.
