Windows display scale sometimes causes issues

[Caaz]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Behavior

Current Behavior

I have a triple monitor set up in which my center monitor was a different resolution than the others, which by default in windows settings had a 125% scaling. I noticed that some apps (in my case PICO-8) would scale awkwardly when placed in a position near the right or lower edge of the screen would extend past the monitor's bounds into other monitors.

What's interesting is this doesn't happen for all windows, so I assume there's something strange going on regarding whatever controls window size for certain applications, but I'll admit I'm not exactly familiar with this type of thing.

Workaround

After switching to 100% scaling, this issue goes away.

Expected Behavior

All windows scale according to display scale.

Environment

• Windows: Version 10.0.26200 Build 26200
• Architecture: x86_64
• Whim: v0.8.6-alpha+37e06e85

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install Whim as nrmal
2. Set display scaling to 125%
3. Place PICO-8 (I assume other applications apply here, I haven't tested extensively) near the right or lower edge
4. See window bounds are larger than expected

Anything else?

I have the same issue, it seems to concern winform apps (notepad++, windows control panel). had the problem with workspacer too
