    Somebody seems to have stumbled onto something that fixes the zoomed up screen size -
    "I inadvertently held down the [Shift] key and used the mouse wheel to scroll down one click and the whole page rezoomed to it's original intended state... why? I don't know, but all the functionality returned... weird."

    How strange!

    Yes, that works on my 15.0.7 as well.

    I do have to repeat if ever the Welcome screen is redisplayed.

    I'm not aware of any functionality associated with Shift+Scroll wheel...is it supposed to do anything? It seems not to have a function in Fm, Edge, IE.

    Also odd: You can invoke the zoom by Shift+Scroll in the other direction.

    But nothing happens when you Shift+Scroll in either direction on the Welcome screen in Fm 2020.

    At least, not today. On my machine. 😉

    What has happened previously with FrameMaker is that a third party have changed their software and it has caused a problem with FrameMaker. E.g. at one point FrameMaker refused to print documents to Adobe Acrobat. We had to go to other PDF programs until FrameMaker sorted out the problem. Fortunately, this time most of the features on the Welcome screen are available in the drop-down menus.

    In the previous discussions on this subject it never seemed to have a solution. We must wait and see.
