The great variety of Virtual Keyboard GUI's shown by this thread readers point to some odd coding thereof and an undesirable octave reduction in new Sonar.

Here are my screenshots of my Bandlab Cakewalk version and the new Sonar one on exactly the same laptop, monitor, etc. 

Cakewalk opens a nice 5 octave keyboard, clear and unclaterred whereas new Sonar only 2 large unwieldy 2 octave keyboard. For the record.

 

This 5 octaves virtual keyboard is a must have

I've got a touchscreen on my laptop.

This is what I get. And nothing is draggable or expandable 😄😄😄😄😄

I think something is broken

 

Can you let us know your monitor configuration - e.g.:

Primary Monitor 1920 x 1080, 100% scaling (left),  Secondary 3840 x 2160, 175% scaling (right)

Hi Mark

This is on a Dell XPS 17 9710 laptop. Single monitor only.

Scaling is at 250%

 

Hope this helps!
