Refresh Window Display Issue

I have this weird problem with Power BI Desktop.

When I refresh the data sources, the popup box that shows you what's happening is kind of broken. The text is off to the left:

It's not really stopping me from working, but if there's an issue with the refresh it can be hard to see what the problem is.

I've just updated the app (new green version installed) and the issue still exists.

Is this a known issue with a known fix? I don't want to sink too much time on a minor problem - I have work to do - but it would be great if there was something I could do about it.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

That is weird, has it always been like that?

 

I have seen these popout windows acting weird when users screen ratio (Scale and Layout) is not set to 100%. Maybe you can have a look at that.

Good morning, it happens to me the same and I have the resolution at 100%.

A couple of months ago after updating to the February the same thing happened to me and I found a change in the registry creating a new key that solved it.

Now I'm looking for what key was to delete it in case that's the problem.

Greetings.

@HughLa  ha ha genius! My display scaling was set to 115% and going back to 100% has sorted it.
