I have a new laptop with a 3200x1800 resolution screen.
Windows 8.1 has a scaling factor, that increases the size of any objects on the screen to compensate. Seems to work fine.
Until I open a VI within an already saved project in LV 2011.
Note: No issue with 2013. But with 2011, the moment my main VI opens, this casues LabVIEW to revert and no longer scale; so it's back to native resolution- which on this 13" screen + 3200x1800, is pretty much impossible to code in.
This does not happen with other VIs; and it also happens with a built EXE version of the same file.
I don't have any scaling options set for the window. I am not sure what's causing this.
(First attachment shows loaded project + new VI, second shows same after opening the problematic VI)

Little more info...
I copied the Front Panel elements to another, new VI, saved it and then relaunched LV2011. Opening the VI caused no issues.
I then repeated this with all the code from the diagram. This resized itself when it was opened. Other VIS have no issues.
No idea what's going on.

Thanks- but the issue is not with the scaling within the VI panels themselves.
Notice that the entire program is resized to native resolution: including the menus and the project window. I didn't open it, but even the diagram code is native; 3800x1800 on a 13.3" screen? I need a magnifying glass.
The feature that does this is a windows scaling feature for the enitre program, not just the LV-managed panel elements.
I just don't know what, in this particular VI, could be triggering this.

You are having issues with this VI only? Are there other 2011 VI's that work just fine?

I opened at least a dozen other subs, including all the subs of just this one VI.
It's only this VI.
I gave up for the time being. But my plan is to start deleting things out of it and re-opening to see what happens.
