Print size view at 100% scaling too large in Illustrator

Hello,

This latest version of Illustrator has some issues regarding the scaling. I usually work with 72 ppi; however it opens on default to this expanded size. Even when I toggle the option to “Display Print Size at 100% Zoom” it doesn’t really seem to make much difference. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

@Ton Frederiks Hi Ton, it appears that this issue was resolved. I’ll let you know if it comes up again.

@tngjstn What do you mean by expanded size? This is showing Overprint Preview, which can be turned on/off in the View menu.

Does this happen with any new document or with the ones based on your last created document?

Hello, I think I should further clarify that the artboard shown in the screenshot is 432 px X 432 px. It should not be as large as this when zoomed in at 100%. This issue happens with new documents as well as those created with previous versions.
