Description

I use the scaling feature (for text etc) in Win10. Since the screen on my laptop and external screen have different resolutions, I have different scalings on them (100 - 200%).

When connecting/disconnect the external screen, and all windows rescale, the text in fman rescales different rows seemingly randomly. I end up with some rows with much smaller text, and some very large text. This seems to apply to Name and Size columns, but not Modified column. If I resize the window the rows rescale differently again, basically randomizing the sizes of the rows. If I restart fman, everything turns back to normal.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with a laptop and external display using different scaling values, then connect and disconnect the external screen and resize the fman window. Check whether text in the Name and Size columns becomes inconsistent while the Modified column remains stable. Done means row text sizes stay consistent without requiring a restart.
