Bug in display of captions on Windows with enlarged text and items

If your Windows has set Make text and other items larger or smaller to a size of 125% or larger, the captions when editing slides will be clipped at the lower edge on some systems.

This is because Storyline does not seem to support the correct object scaling on some systems, perhaps problem with drivers. 

Test system is Lenovo W500 with Radeon 3650 graphics adapter and AMDATI drivers version 12.6 from June 28th.

Could not reproduce on Lenovo T500 with Intel GMA950 driver version 8.15.10.2555.

Thanks for the post, Søren

I believe it's related to DPI, and Storyline doesn't currently support 120 DPI. If your system is set to 120 DPI, you may experience erratic behavior, such as:

*  Elements of the application are misplaced or distorted.

*  Objects are misplaced or distorted when previewed or published.

*  Zoomed images don't work as expected.

Here's how you can switch to 96 DPI:
