Expression text entry cursor position wrong

[TRINITY_FOGARTY]

Hi,

I am having trouble using the expression text entry boxes in the "expression binding" and expression option under "tag binding". The cursor appears to be 4 character positions to the right of its displayed location once I have copied text into the box. This makes entering anything using copy and paste, deleting etc a nightmare, anyone else experiencing this?? If so have you found a fix. I've tried copying to notepad and then back in and it does not want to play the game. I am on the latest version 8.1.36.

cheers for any help

Are you using a fractional scaling in your windows desktop? Anything other that 100% or 200% ?

In the event you are (highly likely, from past experience), try the workaround in this thread:

How to set Java (Designer) to use 100% screen scaling without changing Windows setting?

I think I saw this mentioned on the forums somewhere about a java argument you can set for this, but can’t find it… Windows screen scaling of anything but 100% causes issues with object displays in Java apps, the Designer included, and while I always have this at 100% (even on my tiny 27" 4K monitor :D), some colleagues aren’t so adventurous and would like to set Windows to 125%. From memory it might have been @Kevin.Herron that mentioned the Java arg?

Correct I was on 125%, thank you very much. pturmel.

I will have to check out the workaround you posted PGriffith as my older eyes certainly prefer 125%, cheers
