Can't read the tooltips that pop up when hovering over object names

Bostaevski

Visual Studio 2022

When I hover over an object name, there is a little tooltip that pops up.  For example if I hover over a table name called "Patient" it shows a tooltip that says dbo.Patient (Table) and if I click that it will script it to a pop-up window.  In SSMS this works fine, but in VS 2022 the tooltip is "zoomed" incorrectly(?).  I cannot even read it.  The other thing it will do sometimes is start to shrink before my eyes.  

This is VS 2022


After some time, perhaps as the mouse moves a few pixels, it has progressively gotten smaller



This is expected behavior from SSMS

Hi @Bostaevski

 

Thanks for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your SQL Prompt & VS2022 tooltip concern.

Can I check if you are using a multi-monitor setup and/or are you using Windows scaling other than 100%?

I can replicate similar behaviour by setting my monitor scaling to 175% running at 1920x1080 resolution

 

 

So I can escalate this to our developers, I would be interested to learn your scaling & resolution settings and if you are using multiple monitors. 

To check if the scaling is what is affecting your application; can close out Visual Studio, set scaling to 100% and re-load your project to see if the tooltips appear as expected

@Jon_Kirkwood - I'm sorry I never replied!  Yes, setting the scaling back to 100% does indeed help with the tooltips.  The problem for me is my eyesight and I have scaling ordinarily set at 150% so that I can read the text.  Aside from this issue with SQL Prompt I find that display set to 3840x2160 (recommended) and scaling set to 150% (recommended) works very well.

And yes - dual monitors, both at the same settings.
