[17.66] Windowed mode sticks outside screen on 3:2 monitors

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[17.66] Windowed mode sticks outside screen on 3:2 monitors

Post by joha4270 »

0. On a 3000x2000px screen
1. Beforehand, change Factorio to Windowed mode.
2. Open Factorio by right clicking the Steam icon in the taskbar > Factorio
3. Factorio starts and extends slightly past my screen at both top and bottom (see screenshot)

Expected behavior:
Game window fits entirely inside the screen.

Edit: I assume it happens on any 3:2 monitor, but due Windows being Windows (refusing anything but native resolution and 16:{9, 10}), there is no easy way for me to check if it reproduces on lower resolutions.

Thank you for taking the time to post the bug report.
The problem is not 3:2 monitor, the problem is desktop scaling option you have in combination with screen pixels height you have.
The window controls are still accessible, so it is really just a minor issue.

Changing the desktop scaling to 100% reduces the problem, but does NOT totally remove the issue. See screenshot

And yes, it is only a (very) minor issue, totaling a total of a 2 second annoyance, I simply missed the existence of this subforum.

You posted it correctly to the root Bug reports forum. We are sorting the reports to the subforums ourselves.
