LV16 GUI Destroyed After Moving Over to Other Monitor - WHY

[petermotiv]

Hello Everyone,

I have 2 HD monitors, on a Win10-64-bit PC, running LV16. 

I made a normal VI, which uses multiple graphs, and a tab control. While I am in the VI, and I move the VI LV window over to the 2nd monnitor, the VI will scramble my VI GUI. It stretches and places things all over the place.

Why does this happen? I am not doing anything exotic. I use a Tab Control to move debug controls/indicators to a back tab, and the front tab is the GUI for my VI. 

See attached before-and-after pics.

NOTE: If I export a VI to an EXE, this also occurs in the EXE file.

Please help!  ==> See attached PDF

Do both monitor have the same pixel resolution and aspect ratio?

Is the front panel maximized to the screen?

Is anything set to scale with the front panel size?

EXACT same monitor ... same model ... an old Dell HD(1920 x 1080) LCD

** Found new info:

1) GUI upon start, set up in maxmimized. 

2) The GUI destruction occurs on either monitor actually, once I go to minimize.

** GUI screwed up (randomly, different each time), I minimize.

I think I got it:

(1) File => VI Properties

(2) Then in category, go to "Window Size"

(3) See attached pic

**I never had to deal with this in older versions (2013), what is this about?

Attach your VI so others can see how it behaves on their system.  You can probably delete everything on the block diagram except the terminals if you don't want your code out there.

Here is a solution, not sure if it is THE solution.

Go to File => VI Properties ... the see attached picture. read and check what you need, but the settings in the pic seem to be the most effective.
