I think we've had one other report on this from a while back - it doesn't happen to me or others though. Can you specify what version of Corona and C4D you are using please, and also let us know details of your display set up (e.g. resolution, are you using Windows scaling at all?, etc.) In my case I am on 4K with no scaling, and it doesn't happen.

I'm using C4D 2025.0.1 with corona 12 hotfix 2. I use 2 display DELL P3223QE.. resolution 3840x2160.. this issue happen even with or not scaling and only in the second display.

Hello @walterfog,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Could you please share screenshots of the display settings window for both displays?
On the other hand, what is your graphics card model and drivers version?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

This is pretty old, but is it still happening? Maybe we have some other users with this problem? If not, then I assume it was fixed in Corona 12 Update 1 Hotfix 1.

Hey!

I've got the same problem. Both on my monitors at home and on the ones in the office. I am pretty sure it hast something to do with the scaling. On my main monitor i have 100% scaling and everything is fine. On the Secon one i have 125% scaling and the drop down is all over the place. Same as in the office.

This is a known issue which happens both in the Corona VFB and in the 3ds Max UI (even when Corona is uninstalled). It is related to the libraries that Corona and Max use for drawing the UI (Qt). The easiest solution is setting the same DPI scaling on both monitors.
