I do remember seeing that one on my system also and thought it might
change DPI, but it looked from its name more like a font setting than
a DPI setting, if I remember right.
Not sure what you mean about the cross-posting. Sorry if I missed
something. :-)
More on topic for this group: A way to test if your system is using
high DPI and potentially confusing JAWS, at least in my experience:
Using RouteJAWSToPC, you'll either land on the wrong text as compared
to the PC cursor, or clicking there will click something different
than expected. This becomes more true the farther down or right you go
from the upper left hand corner of the window, I believe. The results
may also differ between JAWS 15 and JAWS 16, as I'm told JAWS 16 is
the first DPI-aware version of JAWS.
So scripters, if you encounter this high-DPI situation, first use JAWS
16, then try using UIA coordinates if MSAA or window coordinates don't
work as intended.

Doug,
You seem to have gotten cross posted on the DPI thread, but anyway, on
the screen resolution item (no longer sure if it is technically a
control panel sigh), I have a combo that is labeled "Change the size
of apps, text and other items on the screen"
The only two choices I have are default and larger but those two are
different DPI settings. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any
label (at least on this screen) saying what values those settings
correspond to.

Right. On my laptop though, I don't see a direct way to change the DPI
setting, so I figured sometimes you might have to try changing it by
changing desktop resolution. I haven't tried this to know if it works
though.

It's not the high resolution itself that breaks non-DPI aware scripts,
it is setting the display to a DPI setting other than normal (which
is either 92 or 96 dpi, I forget which at the moment).

High-resolution laptops can break scripts that run against old,
non-DPI-aware applications. I'm not sure if changing the screen
resolution would fix this because I haven't tried, but I fully expect
that tactic to succeed. I would not tend to avoid a good laptop
because of the high-DPI issues. I am running one of those things right
now. :-)

Hello,
Can you please tell me if the laptops with very high resolution like ~
1900
x 100 or even ~ 3000 x 2000 dpi can create a problem for JAWS scripts?
Or if we manually set the resolution to something low like 1024 x 768,
then
it doesn't matter the max possible resolution of display?
I am searching for a good laptop and I want to know if I should avoid
something.
Thanks.
