Editor display bug when changing screen with different resolutions
Show older comments
I use a laptop, with an additional screen (bigger size, higher resolution).
If I open Matlab R2021b on my laptop, and then move the Matlab window to the screen, the Editor resolution is not updated and the mouse pointer is not connected to the right line. (even if I close and reopen the Editor).

Is this bug known ? Is there a workaround ?

I didn't see anything in bug reports, but that really doesn't mean anything, since plenty of known bugs simply aren't disclosed there.

The newest I run is R2019b, which is probably before this problem started.
I also run under Linux with zaphod mode, so dragging windows between displays isn't a thing.

I have the same effect. (im my case both screens - laptop and additional screen have the same resolution)
used Matlab 2021b update 7
On main screen the Editor window is correct - on the second Screen the editor window looks like the figure above.
