Windows 8 High Res Scaling problems

I have a windows laptop with high resolution on a 15" screen: 3200x1800.

Native resolution is close to impossible to use wih labview.

 

Windows has a scaling feature, and I have it set to 150%, which is excellent for me.

However, SOME projects trigger LV to go native.

That is, I will launch LV 2011 or 2013 and load the PROJ file, and all will be OK.  But when I open certain VIs, all of LV suddenly goes to native resolution, which is unusable.

 

Does anyone have any idea why, or what causes this?  Blank/New VIs don't cause the problem, some of the project VIs don't cause it.  It doesn't happen with every project I have.

Myself, in order to have a pleasant LabVIEW experience, I have to have it at 100%.  But other things look better as well.

I've had to "disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in order to get my VIs to look right.  Not sure if it fits your symptoms.   I don't recall if I had to change this setting by right-clicking on LabVIEW.exe or if I could do it at the per-VI level.
