Varied components are using different text sizes. Context menus might be displayed on the other screen

Symptom 1: If the display settings under Windows are changed so that the custom scaling is set to more than 100%, the components of logi.CAD 3 are using different text sizes.
Example: The text within the Instances view is displayed with a different text size than within the project explorer. Other →views might use different text sizes than the project explorer as well.

Symptom 2: If the display settings under Windows are changed so that the screens are arranged as "2 – 1" and you have positioned logi.CAD 3 on the 1st screen, the context menu of some components is always opened on the 2nd screen.
Example: The context menu for the editor is not displayed on the monitor where the IDE incl. the editor is positioned but on the right edge of the 2nd screen. Here a simplified illustration where the context menu is displayed:

Solution 1: Update the graphics driver for the operating system. This might not fix symptom 1.
