Problem with Windows scaling on multiple monitors

Hello!

I've had a problem since like forever and was wondering if there's a fix or workaround for this, or if this is a known issue at all.

My main monitor is a 4k one, and it's caled to 150%, while my second monitor is a regular 1080p one. Whenever I put OBS on the second monitor, two of the elements on the source options menu (whenever you right click a source) are upscaled like they were 150% (see attached picture) and the biggest issue for this, is that it's cropped and it doesn't show all the items, like the size is correct like it was 100%, but the elements inside are too big to fit. Please note that this doesn't happen with other menu elements, only with ordering and transform, and this also doesn't happen when my main monitor scale is 100%.

Naturally all this doesn't happen on my 4k monitor even with the scaling option activated, everything seems to run fine there, it's at the moment when I move the window to the other monitor when this all happens.

As an additional thing, the first time I open those sub-menus, they'll look ok, it's not until the second time I show those sub-menus that they'll look like that.

Lastly, when I press on the menu on the menus of the screen (Edit -> Transform or Order), those elements look OK, and after I did that, those sub-menus will look OK when right clicking the sources, like pressing that fixes the issue until I restart the program.

I've tried to use all compatibility options on the properties and they result on even weirder things, so I opted to not use that anymore.

Right now I'm on windows 11, but this used to happen on windows 10 too.

Just in case I'll paste my log file here: https://obsproject.com/logs/EgLieqWaZciERrBb

Thanks a lot.

I'm getting this too. OBS 27.2.4, Windows 10 21H1 19043.1586, NVIDIA GeForce 980ti with up to date drivers (512.15, released 3/22/2022).

Primary monitor is a 4K set to 200% scaling, secondary monitor, where OBS is running, is 1080p @ 100% scaling.

The first time I show the "Preview Scaling" submenu after right clicking on the main screen, it shows correctly. Moving the mouse off the menu so the submenu closes and then back onto it then shows the "Preview Scaling" is double sized and clipped. Closing the entire menu and re-opening it continues to show the incorrectly scaled menu. The "Fullscreen Projector" and "Add" submenus in that same context menu both work correctly.

If, once it gets into that state, I click the "Edit" menu in the dropdown and then immediately close it, "Preview Scaling" starts showing correctly again, and as TwintainNami said, it keeps working correctly until the program is closed. Dropping down any of the other top-level menus (File/View/Docks/profile/Screen Collection/Tools/Help) does not fix the issue.

Edit: I see a similar issue is reported on Github as https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/6113, so I'll append this comment there too.
