Material Editor and other windows are TOO WIDE

These windows are too wide and I don't know why. How to change their size to normal? It's a bit uncomfortable to use them right now.

Hi, this seems quite normal to me.  Unfortunately these windows can not be resized. What is your desktop resolution? Are you using a dedicated PC monitor or a TV? I'm using a Sony TV with the resolution set to a native 1920x1080 (recommended) and this is what I see. It is very helpful to use two monitors if at all possible. Unfortunately because of Covid I am working from home and don't have access to two monitors anymore.

I use two monitors, the main is AOC C24G1, which is FullHD and I set 1920x1080 (recommended). Everything was good but I reinstalled Windows, installed 3Ds Max 2020 again, and saw this.  So it is not comfortable and I think it's possible to resize these windows but how..

Hi, 

 

You can resize windows inside 3DSMax with this little piece of software. I've used it before for other applications, and I just tried it now with 3DSMax and it works too.

Yeah, I changed size but this looks funny 😄 Unfortunately this is not the way how the Material Editor needs to look like. I still have this strange scale mode
