Cool. Except all the labels of the charts are getting cut off now...

Change your font.
Many of us choose a larger than default font, then forget about it.

A screenshot of what you are seeing would help. Also what type of computer (laptop, desktop) and OS. Is it UHD or something?

The problem is fixed by deselecting "Use Pixmap Caching", but the problem is new with 1.5.0

Thanks for reporting that fix.
Do you recall if you had previously enabled Pixmap Caching? Or was that setting turned on after you installed 1.5.0?

I just now had 1.4 check for updates, and it returned the above message.

(In the meantime, I used the link to update to 1.5.)

There was an unforseen issue when the servers were updated to https causing "Check for Updates" in 1.4.0 to not work correctly. That was addressed in 1.5.0 but another unexpected issue arose which is being worked on.

Still waiting of a response to the screenshots and info I posted on this thread:

viewtopic/t187161/OSCAR-15--Overfills-L ... creen.html

In my most recent post I said:

My text size is scaled to 100% -- not any other size.

Oscar 1.4 handles that with aplomb when the display scale is 150%, showing me a full screen with normal sized, legible characters.

As an experiment, I scaled the display to 100%, the text size to 150%.,

With the text scaled to 150%, the display to 100%, OSCAR 1.4 became too small to be illegible, though (not surprisingly) Office and Edge handled the change seamlessly. So too did Chrome, and HP Smart and the Whatsapp app. Other apps did not.

The bottom line is that OSCAR 1.5, on a system with the details I've given above, can't manage to handle display scaling the way OSCAR 1.4 does, and I can't use it. I hope the developers will find a solution.

Colored text added to explain what I mean by illegible.

I had it turned on before. It's functionally the same with or without it on, so I just turned it back off.

I also confirmed it happened on some generic Intel-based laptop in Win11.

For those of you having display issues with OSCAR 1.5.0, the OSCAR developers are working on a solution. It is a complex problem that will take some time to correct. There is no time frame available for a fix so please be patient.

Thank you, Jeff and all the developers. It's good to know you are aware of the problem and are working on it.
