34" Samsung Ultrawide Issue with Cakewalk Plugin UIs

[sjoens]

Most bizarre issue with new 34" Samsung ViewFinity S5 monitor (3440x1440) when it's zoom is 125% or higher.

Issue:  Oversized buttons and text.

Affects:  most Cakewalk plugins.

Issue persists when UI is opened after screen zoom is set to 125% or higher.

No issue if screen zoom is 100% before UI is opened even if zoom is changed afterward.

No issues with 29" LG Ultrawide (2560x1080) monitor.

Only happens with plugin inside Cakewalk.  Standalone displays correctly.

If you force the 34" to the same res as the 29", what happens?

Just checked it on a Windows 11 system and it works as expected, so it must be a Windows 10 issue specific to my laptop.  Just one more glitch telling me it's time to retire this one.

Does toggling the plug-in's DPI awareness change anything?

Not sure if that applies to CbB but I'm currently testing it on my Win11 system and it's working correctly there.  I will miss Win10 but it's just too buggy anymore and sanity is too valuable of a commodity to mess with going forward.
