Window shrinkage from waking up PC

[nevaran]

Overview

Extremely often, but seemingly not always, the actual window will completely shrink down, sometimes the real size will have a ghosting effect where it will just break usability, and will not get fixed unless the program is closed and opened again. Context menu on the taskbar tray also gets sized down.

Difference compared:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Put computer to sleep, unknown if the window needs to be open or not
2. Wake up PC
3. Shrinkage.

Expected Behavior

Unchanged window size

Actual Behavior

Cold crotch phenomenon

Your screenshots look exactly the same.

Since you are running two very different sized monitors, you should try explicitly setting the screen scale factors using qt environment variables, specifically this one: QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS

There was no such issues before prior to version 2.7.9 and Windows 10. Also yes a bit difficult to distinguish the screenshots, but you can see compared to the icons at the bottom they are bigger on the shrunk down version, and the normal window (second screenshot) has more screen space taken to the right to the point where other icons are showing to fit the whole window.

About the screen scale factors, what about it working with autostart?

Windows is known to do that if you have monitors with different scaling factors. Even the Windows Explorer does that. It's usually fixed by either resizing the window or moving it between monitors.

I did try to resize the window and nothing happened. Also as i mentioned in the original post - even the tray icon's context menu is resized down. Not sure whats up with that. I havent tried to move it between windows though, im gonna try that next time it happens

This is a qt problem which hopefully gets addressed when we move to qt6. Nothing much we can do about it unfortunately.

Gotcha, thanks for the information and awesome software :) Just got my hands on vaultwarden and its really not that good for storing everything.

Confirmed, moving to the 100% scaled monitor and back to the other one fixes the scaling issue. Might be something to do with the 100% one being on HDMI while the other is DP, since the HDMI is always active

That's a Windows bug.

Its not impossible...ive already found one sort of breaking bug on 11 where the second monitor's taskbar will have ghost tabs of firefox open. Mildly regretting switching over to it
