Hi support,

I think I found an issue with the default behavior of Telerik UI for Winforms on a HighDPI PerMonitorV2 configuration.

The application works correctly and resizes well if moved between screen with different Font Scalings.

However, if the user changes the main screen to one with a different scaling, the application is strangely taking the change into account and would also not come back to its original state.

Attached is a GIF showing the problem and the project. The application on run on screen 3 being main display at 100% FontScale. If I pass Screen 1, the main display (which is 125% font scaled), the icons of the app are made larger (for no reason), going back to screen 1 being the main screen, will not restore the icon to the correct size, unless you make parts of the application being redrawn.

I've a more related question but it's more complex and I won't be able to provide a project for this, so I'm just trying here ;) In our real application (not this test one), when setting PerMonitorV2 mode, we need to have RadControl.EnableRadAutoScale set to false for the controls to resize correctly when changing monitors whereas this [test] application needs it to be let it set to true to kind of do the same thing ?! Any idea on where the difference can come from ?

Thanks & regards,

Benjamin Foucher
