windows overlaps file and folders

[Photobyjono]

Have discovered a really small problem but it bothers me. The image window overlaps the menu on the left, files and folders. I can not get the mouse pointer to split so I can not move the image or resize. Does anyone know how I restore the image window so it does not overlap?

Please specify the exact version of your operating system and Lightroom application you are using.

Windows 10 64 bit, ver 20H2, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz, RAM 32,0 GB, LrC 10.4, Ps 22.5.0

Troubleshooting steps:

1. Update your graphics driver by going directly to the manufacturer's web site and doing a clean uninstall/reinstall:

2. Try disabling the graphics processor by setting Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Off. (This probably won't help but it's trivial to try.)

3. Set Windows display scaling to 100%. Then in LR, set Preferences > Interface > Font Size to Automatic. LR has lots of problems on Windows when display scaling or the font size are other than 100%.

4. Try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

I tried to set display scaling to 100 % and it´s worked, the windows are now right and I haven´t any overlaps.

Thanks

Glad you discovered the cause. It's unfortunate that, after all these years, LR still doesn't work correctly with display scaling.
