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

No it hasn't - on my monitor the menu is either too small to see - or if you use the 200% feature too gigantic. Not a problem in PS CC, ONLY in PS CC 2014.

Yes, but, 200% is way too big!

You can still use Photoshop offline even with CC. That hasn't changed.

Again, the high res display issues was already addressed in Photoshop CC 2014.

I do NOT want to be on CC... I need access to PS offline (work in rural areas sometimes). Besides... other CC users seem to have the problem too. Will just have to find another software to use (not Adobe since they don't seem to care to fix this issue).

Hey, Chris Cox. Do you not get it? Are you a parrot? The fix you endlessly keep referring to does not solve the problem for many users.

It's been going on between the time that high resolution displays appeared on Windows, and when Microsoft fixed the OS APIs to support UI scaling or provided ways to work around the OS bugs. And many other applications are still having problems.

Again, this has already been addressed in Photoshop CC 2014.

Just got a new laptop with high resolution and I am having the same problem with PS CS5. All others components of Creative Suite look fine; it is only PS that is has the tiny menu text and stuff. I am shocked to see how long this problem has been going on!

It does help for high res displays on Windows.

It sounds to me like it doesn't help, from what misterjacket says. So even if I took the financial plunge (Which my employer won't do) I"d still be up a creek without being able to see my menus.
