  When I am on the “Report Settings” dialog box, in the “Printer Settings” tab, the display is garbled.

  The other tabs “Styles”, and “Global Settings” are also garbled.

  The only tab that displays correctly is “Page Setup”

  I’ve closed and restarted Visual Studio, but no help.

  Unfortunately I don’t have a 4k monitor here to verify the issue, but I did test it on a 24inch (1080) monitor with 175% Text scaling, but couldn’t replicate the issue. Could you please test it with 100% scaling and also on a 1080 monitor and share your observations with us.

  Thanks

  Yes, changing the resolution to 1080 at 100% fixed the issue, so whenever I need to change the Report Settings, I’ll need to change the resolution, make the changes, and then change it back.

  Do you anticipate a fix to this resolution problem from ActiveReports?

  The issue is related to VisualStudio being unaware of the Dpi change. Please refer to the following link where this issue is explained with a workaround - http://www.visualstudioresources.com/2017/01/13/running-visual-studio-or-setups-with-dpi-virtualization-dpi-unaware-on-high-dpi-displays/.

  I’ve attached a powershell script which will make VisualStudio Dpi aware and the issue with the ReportSettings Dialog won’t occur.

  Hope it helps
