Scaling fault with Chrome

something daft already!! · 25 Oct 2016 at 09:46

Anyone else noticed a scaling fault with the new version of Chrome? Websites looking too big for the browser window. I have to manually change the scaling for every page I visit since the update otherwise the contents scroll off the screen.

I have seen a fix mentioned on Chrome support but it doesn't work and I still have to manually change.

I don't seem to have scaling problems here: I have one monitor at 100%, the second at 150%, and the third at 175%.

Maybe because I use 125%? I have found by using the command: /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 at the end of the exe, fixes the issue.

Yep, came in to work today to find all of our PCs have this "issue" - we run at 125% as well (have since XP days).

Most users have "fixed" it by zooming out more (obviously not a fix as the window furniture is still too big).

It's an issue in Chrome Beta and Canary as well, so unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
