Dropdown menus goes off screen

georgejw22 — Mon, 18 May 2020 14:51:24 GMT

I run a larger monitor connected to my laptop. I use to run the monitor as my main screen and laptop as my secondary. When I did this and I selected options in the cube in the right hand corner the drop down menu always popped up on the second screen as that's the side the second screen was sitting on.

Was an issue but manageable.

New laptop with better graphics and display I'm now running the laptop as my main screen and the larger monitor as my secondary. Larger monitor above my laptop. Now when I select the options along the bottom of the screen in fusion they disappear, or sometimes get halved on my laptop screen.

Anyway I can correct this issue, without having to change my layout? Would be nice if my drop-downs dropped up instead. This way they'd stay on the screen in which Fusion is open on.

The screen cast shows my main laptop screen as the smaller video, and fusion on my larger monitor.

Sounds like this could be DPI scaling issues.

Try the following:

Right click the Fusion desktop shortcut and select "open file location".
Right click the launcher.
Go to the compatibility tab.
Change the "High override DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" selection to Application or System (Not System (enhanced)).

Things should hopefully work better with that change. Let me know if that helps.

Thank you for the response. I tried all three selections, application, system, system enhanced. None of them worked. I did find out that if I select my external monitor as my main display then it corrects the issue. But then I run into other issues that are worse than the original issue, display issues and glitches on my laptop in other software or during notifications.
