We have a fix and is available in the pre-release build. Please visit https://adobe.ly/1o2SDsg and get the latest build for version 23.0.1

Please refer to release notes and get the preference that you will have to change to turn off the new Actual print size feature introduced with version 23.0

Why don't you, like, just tell us how to turn off Actual print size so we don't have to go find release notes?

      PIxel preview is garbage to design with. It's WAY slower than regular mode. Currently to see the "real" resolution I have to zoom to 66.667%. This isn't the end of the world, but it seems like it should be easy enough to give the option to turn off the new screen resolution settings. I would much rather 100% be 100% than this weird approximated "real size" thing they're doing.

        I work exclusively in print & packaging. You are now experiencing the pain I've endured for twenty years or more, scaling to 154% to get something approximately actual size.

          Ouch Vern, fair point. But Adobe should be able to support both screen and print designers. By all means, have a checkbox that toggles the "Actual Size" feature.

            Reading will solve most problems... that thing you posted literally mentions 'pixel preview'... mine seems accurate in this mode (pixel preview enabled... strokes etc are conformed to the pixel grid. viewing 100% or 'actual size'... I can copy stuff from the web and it looks like it does in browser.

            Here's info from adobe (about pixel preview)

            It’s not comfortable to work in pixel preview mode all the time, because everything works slow in this mode (panning, zooming, creating objects) besides fonts look very pixelated in 100% on 5k monitors.

              might not be ideal, you can toggle the mode. (It does move slower yes, but its only *slightly* slower.. nothing too problematic) alt+ctrl+y isn't too bad of a keystroke to send multiple times while panning clicking stuff.. you could also change the key bind/make an button action to toggle it fast(or give that button a key combo)

              Most things like this I just adapt and make it work for me... work is work.  Eventually adobe will make some fix for it but until then it will take some extra 'work' on your end.
