Bug: M4L screen elements zoomed in

Post by daspa » Wed Apr 27, 2022 3:19 pm

For a while I've been experiencing an annoying bug with M4L plugins where all screen elements are zoomed in and not centered. I have not found a way how to zoom out and center the screens. I'm running Live 11 on Windows 10, and this has been a problem on all versions throughout Live 11. Some examples:

So far I've only tried reinstalling my graphics card's (GTX 960) drivers, but to no avail. If someone has experienced similar issues, I'd appreciate any tips.

By coincidence, I made a discovery that if I have Live open in the background with atleast two M4L plugins loaded and I start browsing any image heavy website (e.g. Imgur), the problem gets solved until the next time I open Live again.

I'm not an expert on this matter, but I'm guessing when browsing Imgur, Ableton's graphics data gets stashed temporarily to make more space on the VRAM side. When switching back to Live, the graphics get reloaded and displayed properly.

You should send this to C74 support as it looks like a jit.pwindow problem. Did you try to play with the zoom setting in Live prefs?
