Multi-Monitor resolution issue (affects prefs panel)

phipslk · 11 January 2022, 21:28

Hi there,

I am using WinUAE 4.9.0 on an Asus core i5 laptop with a second monitor connected (Samsung 27" curved). Both monitors (laptop & samsung) run on 1920x1080.
On the laptop display, everything looks ok.
But, when starting WinUAE on the samsung monitor and running emulation on the laptop screen, then invocing F12, the prefs panel appears on the samsung monitor but is completely diffuse. the buttons are not on their place and can't be clicked, some things work and hitting return closes the panel.
And when moving emulation window from laptop screen to the samsung monitor, the emulation gfx looses aspect ratio.

First try Misc panel GUI Reset Panel button.
Does monitors have different Windows DPI setting?
Do you run WinUAE in fullscreen mode, resolution less than monitor's native resolution?

Fullscreen + GUI can work strangely if D3D9 mode and low resolution/high DPI. D3D11 should always switch back to desktop when F12 is pressed.

The GUI reset button doen't work sadly. And about DPI, I don't know but possibly, as the laptop monitor ist 15" and the other is 27"

it runs in fullscreen windowed mode at same resolution

It's the same if I use either D3D9 or D3D11
