Hi,

I changed the Display scaling to custom value 110% and all display related problem is solved.

@PiyushM :

Exactly. The standard response on these forums is "its not compatible." Sorry for your frustrations but you have nailed the solution.

  • Windows 11 recognizes very high definition displays at installation and may default the display scale to 150 or 200% to make text easier to read. While this works well in many applications. Quartus isn't auto-scaling based on the display settings. This makes the display text push into the symbol.
  • I have my students display at 100% while they are working in Quartus. This fixes all of the text issues. When they are done using Quartus, they can then rescale display settings if desired.
