Dreamweaver CS6 Missing Buttons Properties Panel

[exevolga]

I recently moved Dreamweaver CS6 to a new PC.  I downloaded it from Adobe site.    Windows version.

Buttons are missing from the Properties Panel.   As if the lower part of the panel is missing.

I did as suggested on this forum, but no difference i.e. :

Undock the Properties Panel. Moved up the screen.

Double Clicking on a blank area of the panel no result.

Cleared out cache file.

I also wonder if this related to another issue discussed elsewhere?  I now have a higher definition screen, so Dreamweaver menu bar and some other text is very tiny.

Suggestions welcomed please.

DW is not Hi-DPI Aware.  And CS6 is legacy software so it will never be updated to support it.

In Win10, go to Start Screen and Type Display Settings.

In your system settings,  move the scaling slider to 100% (Recommended).

Under Advanced Settings, you may need to adjust your screen resolution downward.

Thanks suggestion.  Did that.  Some parts of screen got a bit bigger, but menus etc. remained very tiny.

Properties Panel remains incomplete

Can you post a screenshot?

What is your display's resolution setting?

Since posting the screenshot I uninstalled and re-installed CS6 Dreamweaver.  No change.

I also reduced the display definition.  No change, except harder to read.

The problem is CS6 is not Hi-DPI aware and never will be.

Reinstalling it won't make things any better.  Your best option is to revert back to a low-res display.

Failing that, there is a workaround described below.

Thanks.

I can live with the smallness of the text because the sharpness of the display makes it readable

Real problem is the missing lower part of the properties panel.  I cannot see how to enlarge it.  I have undocked it, clicked on it and tried to expand it with the mouse. No success.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I don't have CS6 anymore. 

In my version, the panel contains a tiny triangle (bottom right) which when clicked expands the panel or clicked again collapses it.

I have now found an official Adobe update for Dreamweaver CS6 covering HD-DPI. 

Don't know if I missed it previously or whether it is new.  Never mind.  I downloaded and installed it and Properties Inspector is now acting as it should.  Some of the text is still very tiny, but that is not so vital because the sharpness of the display makes it readable.

Many thanks for your help.
