[BUG] 8.1.0 Graphical issues when switching between Perspective views

[zander.minchin]

Whenever I have more than one Prespective view open in the Designer, and I switch between them, the view I switch to becomes slightly blurry and the border around the view becomes frozen. So, when I zoom in, there is a tearing effect.

This is best demonstrated in the gif below.

This bug is very repeatable and happens every time I have more than 1 view open.

Can you try in 8.1.1 or ideally 8.1.2? This looks like a rendering issue from our embedded browser, which got a few minor tweaks from 8.1.0.

Thanks for the reply.
We just updated our Gateway to 8.1.2 and unfortunately the bug still persists on my machine.
Interstingly, I seem to be the only one affected by it among my colleagues…

What screen resolution is your monitor(s)? Are they set to use DPI scaling? If so, what is/are the DPI scaling ratios? (ie, 150%, 200%, etc)? Also, is this Windows, or a different platform?

[zander.minchin]

My monitor is 1920x1080 and the scaling is set to default 125%.
I’m working in Windows 10 64bit

Are they set to use DPI scaling

I think you're onto something here. I didn't even think to check that This trips up a lot of things for us! Also, meet my newly Ignition-minted brother

Is there any significance to the fact that his name is fully qualified and yours is not?

Since you brought up scaling in Windows, I'll toss this in here since I've seen what appears to be some issues as a result of that. I noticed this in Workstation on a client, not in the designer though.

8.1 Workstation Performance

Workstation appears to work the same now (maybe even slightly faster, but don’t quote me on that) now that we’ve installed from 8.1.2. I did notice that when I first open a project, however, it is still slightly blurry. Borders on buttons seem a pixel or two wider as well in Workstation. I was wondering if the resolution on the computer was causing issues so I changed that to a larger resolution and voila, it was clear, just like in Chrome. Then I switched back to the resolution I had been u…

That explains why he's already doing QA for us

Changing the scaling to 100% fixes the issue!

I just have to squint a bit to see the icons in my task bar now.

Hopefully no one minds me brings an old thread back to life too much but is there any other possible solution to this bug other than changing scaling to 100%?

I am running Ignition 8.1.2. The designer is running on windows 10 64bit with 1920x1080 resolution and 125% default scale.

Thank you!

You can tell the launchers to launch the designer/client using a hardcoded scaling value of 100%, so that they're the only programs affected on the system, and the rest of your OS is left at 125%:

7.9.10 Upgrade - Scale Issues

I also still see this behavior in 8.1. I’m using anchored layout for all my components. The suggestions laid out in @jcoffman’s post above fix the issue for the most part, however you no longer need to apply the java argument to the shortcut file itself. Instead, you can edit the Vision client launch settings like this: [image] [image] A side note is that this solution works both for windows scaling issues (e.g. monitor running at 150% scaling within Windows) and project upscaling (running a…
