Hi all, I have an annoying problem with the screen which shows the program code. To see it all I have to use the slider at the bottom. This is not a problem with windows 10 as everything else is ok.
There is probably a simple solution to this but I don't know what it is.
How do I fix it? It was ok before.
Before what? You must have changed something (or something was updated automatically).
Do you mean the font size is too large? Maybe you were holding down CTRL key while using the mouse wheel or something?
It's normally a "no-no" to post screen shots of code on this forum, but in this case, it's appropriate.
IDE >> FILE >> PREFERENCES >> INTERFACE SCALE >> (smaller than your current value) >> OK
IDE >> FILE >. PREFERENCES >> EDITOR FONT SIZE >> (your preferred font size) >> OK
Keep a notebook near your computer for notes about changes you make for a later reference and fix what you changed, and do not like.
Make your lines shorter.
Not sure what "everything else" is. If that is other applications, they often have a line wrap.
One possibility no one's mentioned - have you perchance 'zoomed' into the code, using
ctrl-+(control and plus key)? That will 'grow' the window content for easy reading, but as a result you'll have to scroll left-right to read longer lines.
To reset it, use Ctrl-0(control zero); to reduce it, use Ctrl--(control minus)
This seems to be an unknown feature of Windows for a whole generation of users.
I just tested, and yes this feature exists in IDE 1.8.15, so it's a possibility. And yes, this is the same feature being used if you ctrl-scroll using your mouse wheel.
