Bridge 2023 preview issues

I've run into an issue previewing high-res images in Bridge. When previewing at 100% (clicking spacebar on a photo then clicking within the image) the preview is pixelated - looks like crappy nearest neighbour image interpolation. I checked to make sure I'm not zoomed in past 100% on the preview, and the images are larger than the native resolution of my monitor.  

 

My display is scaled to 125%.  Changing to 100% seems to fix the pixelation, but this isn't an acceptable solution. Previous versions of Bridge did not have any problems with scaled displays. 

 

Details about my PC

Monitor: Gigabyte M32U

Screen resolution: 3840x2160 - 125% scaling

OS: Windows 10 Home

TO CLARIFY - This is an issue in Bridge 2024 (14.0.1) in the Output Preview window within the Output Workspace.

So this is still not resolved for me, even with the latest fixes pushed out today. Has anyone else found a solution to this problem or are we waiting on Adobe to actually fix it?

Just checked, it's still not resolved for me either after the new update 😞 So will continue to use the previous version where the full-screen zoom is working properly.

Continue using previous version means i have to use PS 2022, which is what I am doing as Bridge 2022 cant talk to PS 2023!  BOOO!

Same issue with me, display is scaled to 125% due to high res. monitor, previous bridge had no problems with zoom to 100%. This new version is a mess. I think with the scaling setting, it's actually zooming to 200% (while saying it's only at 100%). I noticed it right away on my first zoomed image going much further in, thus making things look pixelated. I tried changing to no scaling, but everything else on my PC now is too small. Oh well, back to the previous Bridge version!

100% Zoonm eventually stabilizes without pixelation on mine 3000 x 2000 Surface Book 2 Windows 10. However, for chosing sharper photos I use 200% zoom and that doesn't work at all.

All in all, I think Bridge 2022 is definitely better. Why to change cosmetics, why to remove useful Workspace options from the main screen (helping to quickly switch between essentials and Filmstripp.

Also, despite correct settings, Bridge 2023 was opening JPEG files in Lightroom. It took a few resets to teach it to use Photoshop for type sof files... A lot of bugs, much slower... Why to rush the new version when there was nothing wrong with the old one? Adobe, I hope you are reading this guys and get your act together. Your very, very sofisticated products are fantastic (that's why I subscribe) but Bridge 2023 is below standard and unusable for someone used to swift and flawless workflow... For now, I go back to Bridge 2022.

Have the same problem running on a 2560 x 1440 monitor with 125% display scaling.  I can't evaluate the sharpness images by using the 100% preview - have to open them up in Camera RAW to zoom properly to 100%.  This is a major bug, so I've reverted back to Bridge 2022 and wait until they've fixed it.

I'm also having the same issue. Windows 10, Dell XPS 15. I can't get it to be unpixelated no matter what settings I change, though.

I have just come across the same issue, using Dell XPS 13 witha 4k screen. Really frustrating and a major bug, images in windows photo viewer zoom to 100% correctly.
