So I have a question that's been bothering me. For some reason after plugging in my second monitor the UI in Codesys started acting a bit funky. Mainly in that now instead of showing the entire variable name it will go "Genericna...." or "GVL_Weather....."
I can change the font but that only plays around with the problem. I have a screencap below so you can see the problem. There is plenty of room to display the entire variable name but even if I use a wider monitor or give it more horizontal space it will just expand the empty middle space. Yet I can open the same project on my old machine and it displays the full variable name. Which is why I don't think it's something that can't be fixed.

Options -> FBD,LD AND IL editor -> Fixed size for operand fields.
Remove the tick.
Oh my thank you. I don't know how I missed that.
Now I need to figure out why it does this with the overlapping lines in menus.
Possible scaling in windows?
Windows button + x -> System -> display -> Scale and layout.
Try reducing the percentage.
Bang on. Reducing it to 100% scaling wasn't an option but putting in a custom scale of 100% fixed it.
Thank you.
