Win8 Apps not displaying right

[Deleted member 68110]

I'm new to Win8 and wanted some advice.

All my apps display like this (with the column of text to the right half chopped off):-

I'm not sure if this is (really poor and) intentional, to try and draw you into scrolling right, or whether there's a simple fix.

Thanks for any help.

Gah! Had hoped not, but suspected might be the case.

Which design school allowed someone to graduate thinking it is perfectly alright for the opening element of an app to be full of half-hidden text?

Any workarounds?

Obviously everyone's welcome to their own opinion and I'm not trying to convince everyone I'm right, but I don't think that's fine, to be honest. There are plenty of ways of showing the user that there is more to see, without cropping text and pictures.

I consider a design that snips text and pics always and by default to be pretty flawed.

At the least there should be some way to "fix" it.

It is though, one scrolls down, omen scrolls across. It is exactly the same. They aren't button stuff of you need on the first page.

It's really not the same, but I don't really fancy going off-topic explaining.

Is there a fix?
