Syphus Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 OK - Iied (LOL) . . . When back to old settings and all is right with my display . . . but, now I can grab my scroll tab and I have opened and closed cake several time and it seems consistent. Too weird for me They say: To err is human; to really mess up takes a computer Syphus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphus Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Alright folks - Last entry before we re-enter the atmosphere . . . The last test I wanted to do before concluding this thread was rebooting the computer and see if that last entry (by me) rang true. The scroll bar seems to be a bit thinner that I would expect, but the scroll bar is still there. All seems to be working as it is supposed to. Of course one can only expect 16 icons to be available do to the design of the "Start Screen", but now I can access them via the SS. To summarize, here is how I got this to work: I went to the setting in my control panel (for windows OS) and set the "Display" heading under "Appearance and Personalization" and changed the setting from "125%" to "100%". This will cause you to have to logout of your account and re-login. Do not pay attention to the way your desktop looks at this time. Open cakewalk and check your SS. It should be normal looking (with a visible scroll bar) and all other methods working ( arrow keys& pg up/dn keys). At this point go back and change your text setting back to "125%", logoff & re-login". Your desktop should be back to normal. Open cakewalk and see if you SS is working correctly. I just wanted to finish this up in case anybody out there encounter this - maybe this will help them. I'm going to set this as solved at this point. Thanks all who contributed to this thread . . .

chuckebaby Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thank you @Syphus for leaving your solution here. It will help someone down the road someday. @MusicMan11712 (aka Dr. Steve) you too buddy (thumbs up). 9 minutes ago, pwalpwal said: iirc, this setting being not on 100% also caused issues in the past? I believe you are correct Mr. @pwalpwal. I thought it was a Windows theme issue (which does include zoom level settings). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not appear that support (I did contact them) will pursue this as a CbB problem . This could be true (not getting treated as a CbB problem), but following the procedure above you might be able to get around it somewhat and get back the functionality as it was designed (for Start Window).
