Switching between dual-screen and single-screen workspaces makes UI text tiny

Seems to be a UI bug with AE 2025, present in both the latest public release and the beta.

 

I have a dual-monitor setup, one monitor is 2560x1440 and the other is 4K / 3840 x 2160.

 

My regular workspace is set up for dual screens, but I often switch to the "small screen" preset to make screen recordings.  When I make this change (and when I change back again) some of the UI text becomes tiny.  This includes the RGB values in the info palette, and the colomb headings in the timeline (ie Source Name / Track Matte / Parent & Link).

 

Screenshots attached.

I'm not aware of any text scaling, but I agree that the underlying problem is having 2 monitors with different resolutions.

Is the 4K display using any percentage of scaling via the OS? This typically can cause issues when moving windows back and forth, not just with After Effects/Adobe apps.
