Graphics Do Not Display at 100%

I have recently upgraded from FM8 to FM12 on Windows 7. I am finding that FM is not showing certain imported (by reference) graphics when the FM file's zoom level is 100%. The graphics display fine at other zoom levels.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which graphics "disappear," they are all GIF files imported at 96 dpi. Some are images that were in the FM files before we upgraded, and some have been imported after the upgrade.

This behavior is not impeding my work, but it is irritating. Has anyone else experienced this oddity? Any suggestions on getting FM to display all graphics when the zoom level is 100%? Thanks.

Change "Default" to "23in" or whatever the actual display dimension of your screen is, lower left pixel to upper right corner pixel.

This number is how FM knows what 100% is. I have no idea what "Default" does, but I doubt it results in FM making an EDID API call to the OS to have the video driver ask the monitor what's its raster size is.

Have you tried a screen refresh (ctrl+L) when a graphic "disappears"?

And Arnis, yes I tried refreshing the screen - it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Gloria,

I tried to recreate your scenario at 100%, but I don't see any issues with 96dpi graphics at that zoom level. You can actually type in any desired zoom level in the Zoom bar box - try bracketing the value using 99% or 101% to see if the image re-appears.

If the image re-appears, then there is an odd combination of graphics card, monitor and application at play and should be reported to the Adobe bugbase [Bugbase] (along with samples that would allow this to be duplicated).

What's the MonitorSize= set to in your User maker.ini ?
