Thanks to Jon Turney for the reply and suggestions to assist in troubleshooting this Cygwin installer.
When I run the previous version of the Cygwin setup (2.932), the scaling problem does NOT occur. So, this scaling problem is brand new with version 2.933. I also tried downloading the new patched installer (2.933-3-g2907) at the link Jon provided. This version also does NOT exhibit the scaling problem. So, whatever you changed in that patched version indeed does solve the problem for me. Thank you. ________________________________ From: Jon Turney Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2025 2:41 PM To: Eric Johanson Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Cygwin Installation app has Rendering Problems when multiple monitors have different scaling settings On 25/04/2025 16:18, Eric Johanson via Cygwin wrote: > I'm using Cygwin installer 2.933 (x86_64).

It's not quite clear if you're saying that previous versions of the installer didn't have this problem, or you haven't used them? (Old installer version are available at https://cygwin.com/setup/) Anyhow, this is all a bit disappointing as we made some changes in 2.933 in an attempt to improve the behavior in 'DPI change' situations like this. But now I look again at those changes again... maybe they're not quite right. I've made an adjustment in an attempt at fixing this. Perhaps you can try [1] and see if it behaves any better?
