Eyedropper problem

[Jkoseattle]

All of a sudden, the eyedropper when selected from the Style window (either eyedropper) does not reflect what is being hovered over. I can see the colors change to essentially the correct colors, but not in the right place. This makes it really hard to select a color from within the current project of course.

What's weird is that it seems to work properly when hovering over anything NOT within Moho. But as soon as I hover over anything in the Moho screen, it doesn't work right.

This does not matter if I'm in an existing project or a new project of any kind. In fact, I can close down Moho, re-open it, start a new project, and the problem is present right away.

I've heard of odd UI offset issues from a couple of users like bones having an offset effect or the Eyedropper tool picking up from a different location.

I think the issue is related to Windows Scaling. Try setting it to 100% and see if that helps. You might also need to adjust your screen resolution if this makes things too small or too large.

Aha! Yes, dead on! I changed the scaling back to 100% and now it's all working fine. My old eyes are suffering for it, but at least I know what the problem was. Thanks!

Yeah, I totally get that. Tip: I reduced my screen resolution to as low as 1920 x 1080 on some displays so I can use the 100% scale setting and still see what I'm looking at.

I have this same problem with a few other programs I work with, so it's not a Moho-only thing. I think it's a matter of developers updating their programs to work with high pixel density screens and the latest Windows releases, and apparently that's not a trivial matter for some programs. Hopefully we'll see improvements there in future.

Curiously, I think I'm using a scale setting other than 100% on my computer at work and it's working fine for Moho. It probably has to do with the specific resolution/scale values I'm using. Will look into that when I'm back at the studio and have time.
