Revit Graphics - Edit Type & Workset Name Text Size

[Kev_D]

I am wondering why some of the text size goes much larger:

• Type Selection
• Edit Type 
• Workset Name 

I tried disabling Hardware Acceleration but it did not fix it. 
When I close Revit and open it again, it is back to normal, but when I start working, the letters go back to being larger. 

I have my laptop connected to 2 screens. It happens on both screens.

Fascinating. 

Following...

....maybe a Windows Accessibility Feature turned on?

Check Windows Display Scaling, and match vertical resolution for both screens.

I played around with some of those settings already and it has not fixed it. Like I said, when Revit opens it is ok, then when I open a 3D view, the letters get bigger. The same also applies to the Material Browser

Are you using multiple monitors by any chance? 

[Kev_D]

Yes, I am using 2 monitors. 1 of them mirrors the laptop screen, and the other is number 2. Sometimes I close the laptop lid, and sometimes it is open, but the problem persists. 

The 2 monitors are different in size slightly. one is 20in (1) and the other is 22(2). The laptop is a 14in display.

Sized of monitors don't matter, but their resolutions and display scaling do.

[Kev_D]

yeah didn't think it did matter, but all settings are the same. no issue with any other apps.

And what are they?  

[Kev_D]

Basic apps such as Office, Adobe, CAD also. Nothing as powerful as Revit. . No issue when viewing documents, images, videos, web pages. Only those specific parts of Revit like mentioned above.

[ToanDN]

I am asking about the settings, not other apps. Other apps behaviors have no bearing on Revit's.

[d.ahmed.LW]

No I mean what are your settings? The number of monitors, size and other apps have no connection with Revit. I think the display resolution and other settings is where we need to look into.

[Kev_D]

My bad. I seen "and what are they" and the last thing I mentioned is Apps, instead of looking at your highlighted section. 

Assumption is the mother of all f**kups 😁

[Kev_D]

Both Monitors are 1980x1080. 

The laptop display is 

The laptop lid is closed, and mirrors to screen 1, and extends to screen 2

This is also Windows 11

Following up with more information.

It happens with all Revit versions. When I create a new project in the same Revit window, while the other project is open, the text goes back to normal on both, but then when I change a view or open my 3D view (even though it is empty) the text jumps back larger.

Have you ruled out Add-ons?  Try disabling Add-ons temporarily.

Wait a minute. It happens in ALL Versions? Now I'm more convinced that this is a Windows thing.  You're not using Windows 11 by chance? 

[Kev_D]

Yes, Windows 11. I also removed the monitors and opened Revit on the laptop screen only, and the problem persists.
