Start by reproducing the two cases in OBS Studio 29.0.0 on Windows 11 with a 4K monitor, using the provided screenshots and OBS log as context. Check the UI text and source context menus at that display scale; done means button and source text is fully visible and all expected right-click menu items appear.
