    I have the same problem with PSE 2023 (21.0) running Windows 11 on a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 4. It has a 3840x2400 px display scaled to the recommended 250%.

    Of course I am not willing to change anything in the Windows settings.

        Still no fix. A shame for a company like Adobe. It looks as if they don't care at all.

           The drop down menu font size in the pse 2023 editor gets larger when one scales the

          Windows scaling under Display>Scale and layout.

            It worked !

            Go to Windows Settings then, Display . Then change your PC's "Scale and Display resolution" accordingly.

            This is the dumbest thing yet from Adobe. Windows has already scaled the app, and the font size is way out of proportion to the rest of the app. Why should I have to wreck the entire Windows setting to get Photoshop Elements to act right?

             

            Please post if there is another solution.

              Hi

               

              Can you please check the UI scale factor set under preferences. 

              Edit -> Preferences -> Display & Cursors

              There are 2 options available under dropdown for UI Scale Factor - 100% and 200%. Please check if switching to either works for you.

               

              Thanks,

              Priyanshi

              Hi Priyanshi,

               

              Actually, in PSE 2023, there are three options for UI Scale Factor.

              In my Photoshop Elements 2023, both Automatic and Large settings produce the font size shown in eFFetjes post above. If I set it to Small, it becomes intolerably tiny and impossible to see the text.

              Is there another workaround to setting the menu dropdown text to something between the huge Automatic/Large settings and the tiny Small setting?

              Thanks in advance for possible guidance and a solution.
