Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the SQL Query Browser and the Tag Query editor in the Ignition Designer. The text editor doesn't respond properly — the cursor position doesn't match the text, and sometimes clicking or typing happens in the wrong place. It's very hard to edit queries because the caret and the actual text are out of sync. I've tried closing and reopening the Designer, and even restarting the Gateway, but the issue persists. It happens only inside the Query Browser and Tag Query windows; other script editors seem fine. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Could it be related to the rendering mode (hardware vs software), or maybe a Designer cache issue? I'm running Ignition version [your version number here] on [your OS]. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! ---

If [your OS] == Windows then check the screen magnification. If it's not 100% you can have problems related to the Java implementation, I think. ---

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] 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… ---
