Expected Behavior
OBS's UI should display properly on both monitors
Current Behavior
OBS displays fine on my 2560x1080 monitor, but the menus when we right click for instance are too big and don't display all the options (the menu stops at transform but we can see that there are options below that are cut off
OBS is completely unusable when I drag the OBS window to the 4k monitor, the UI is completely broken
Steps to Reproduce
- Use Windows 11 on a pc with both a 4k monitor and a 2560x1080 monitor
- Obs starts on the secondary monitor (can't tell the cause)
- The issue occurs
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked OBS Studio log and reproducing the issue on Windows 11 with 4K and 2560x1080 monitors. Check the UI behavior when the window moves between displays, including clipped context menus and the broken 4K layout. Done means the OBS interface and menus render completely and correctly on both resolutions.
