Display update problem at high magnification

When I edit text and the zoom level is 160% or greater, the display fails to update properly and any text which has shifted is overprinted. I can refresh the display, of course, with CTRL+L or by scrolling, but making complex edits is nearly impossible.  It's fine at lower zoom levels. Unfortunately, for the time being, I must  use high zoom levels in FM due to an eye injury. 

 

Here's what it looks like:

Changing the font and using displays with different resolutions haven't helped. I've played with the DPI compatibility settings (by right-clicking on the FM executable) to no avail. Is there anything else I can try?

 

Graphics: Nvidia RTX A2000 laptop GPU.

FM version 17.0.1.305.

As a work-around, what size and resolution monitor are you using?
If not a large 4K, can that NV graphics do 4K over HDMI or DP?
4K 32inch monitors are really cheap now, and make greate magnified (100%) HD (2K) monitors.

Depending on the workflow needs, I might be able to make a brand & model suggestion.

Thanks—using a magnified monitor is a great workaround. Getting a larger monitor might take a while (due to corporate IT hurdles and physical space constraints). But I have several 22-inch monitors, and Windows 11 makes it easy to scale one of them up to 175%. I'm still hoping for a fix for the display problem, of course.

If you can get IT to install a keyboard remapper (a feature available in the free MS Windows PowerToys), you might put Ctrl+L on the F2 (or higher) key.
