Spike graticule display region sizes wrong, obscuring borders

Hi:

On a Microsoft Surface Pro 3, running Win 8.1 Enterprise, the graticule (display) area of the Spike window becomes oversized after any settings changes are made. It is sized correctly when the program is first invoked.

The Span reading and Playback Toolbar become tucked under the bottom edge of the window, and the left dB scale numbers are partly tucked under the Control Panel. Top and right side are partly obscured as well.

This is with Spike ver: 3.0.8

Has this been seen before? Please fix this.

Thanks.

Hello crcarle,

Can you post an image of this? Do you have text/icon scaling active? Our software text does not scale appropriately when the Windows text/icon scaling is active (more than 100%).

Hi,
I found the Win8 scaling settings and made it 100%.
Now the problem appears to be gone.

However, now the text of the Windows GUI is about 4pt.

Got any plans to make your program compatible with Win8 scaling? I can imagine a lot of people running it on Win8 tablets and laptops.

Hi crcarle,

Yes, we are aware of the scaling issues and we will address them in a future update. We do not have a time frame yet on when that will be though. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regards,
A.J.
