Switching between dual-screen and single-screen workspaces makes UI text tiny

[Chris Zwar]

Seems to be a UI bug with AE 2025, present in both the latest public release and the beta.

I have a dual-monitor setup, one monitor is 2560x1440 and the other is 4K / 3840 x 2160.

My regular workspace is set up for dual screens, but I often switch to the "small screen" preset to make screen recordings.  When I make this change (and when I change back again) some of the UI text becomes tiny.  This includes the RGB values in the info palette, and the colomb headings in the timeline (ie Source Name / Track Matte / Parent & Link).

Screenshots attached.

Is the 4K display using any percentage of scaling via the OS? This typically can cause issues when moving windows back and forth, not just with After Effects/Adobe apps.

I'm not aware of any text scaling, but I agree that the underlying problem is having 2 monitors with different resolutions.
