Hi All,

I've attached a screenshot of what I see when I open the Perfectflight Datacap program. For some reason some of the words are cut off and I can't figure out why. Has anyone seen and cured this issue or maybe have some suggestions on what to do?

Thanks,

Andrew Grippo

Being an old Windoze coder... this often happens, in my experience, when you are using a larger or custom default system / dialog font and the code is not written to check. Or the code has hard coded units that worked for the old default font but not the new windows 8 one. Generally the layout should be done in dialog units if not a quick calculation at display time. Or at least float the right side of the group rectangle (which is probably a group box as you can say it clipping both left and right). But as you say it is innocuous.
 
The suggestion to decrease the computer's font size worked perfect.

Thanks,

Andrew Grippo
