On my monitor (2560 x 1600) the menu on CC 2014 is too small - so tiny I can hardly read it. Selecting Expereimental 2nd option makes the whole programme far too big. Either so small I can't see it unless I sit very close to the monitor or so big it is unusable.
No problems with PS CC, only PS CC 2014. Having to unistall CC 2014 and go back to CC. Support offer NO solution

Hi
I'm very pleased to report that this latest update seems to have fixed the problem of the tiny, unreadable menus - at least on my PC.

Another issue has arisen - where the programme seems to stutter - that is it momentarily freezes then unfreezes a millisecond later (especially when opening large RAW files).

But the issue of the tiny, unreadable menus is solved for me.
Thanks Adobe for listening to your customers

This was already done in Photoshop CC 2014.2

Hi,
That sounds promising - hope it is implemented soon

I've lost a bit of confidence that Adobe would fix the issue as the issue didn't appear to be acknowledged. Seems it has now

I uninstalled PS CC 2014 and use PS CC which on my computer works perfectly.

Would be good if Adobe could fix the issue at long last
Thanks

Currently, we scale the menus based on the Photoshop CC 2014 200% preference. We're investigating a change to decouple this such that the menu size is controlled by the OS and just the UI size (panels, tool bars, etc) is controlled by the Photoshop preference.

its about 6px size on a 1080p monitor, it should inherit the font size and scaling of windows itself, which i have set to 125%

that doesnt work. this is a problem with photoshop. i have a 1080p 24 inch monitor and the text on the menus is way too small. i enabled 200% ui scaling and the UI is absolutely gigantic now. is adobe going to fix this issue?

Please read the previous responses. And go install CC 2014 and enable the 200% UI scaling.
