Very annoying UI window control bug

Device

Operating System

Windows 10 Pro

I've been experiencing a weird bug with the window controls on the upper right corner (close, expand, minimize), where it'll randomly expand that section and starts to cover other parts of the application entirely (see screenshot).
The only way I can get this to correct itself is when I restart the app. But in ~30 mins to an hour, the bug starts to appear again and again. It becomes more prominent after minimizing to the task bar and reopening the window. If left untouched, it'll eventually cover the entire main body of this app.

I've tried reinstalling from the Windows APP store, from the standalone exe (ensuring I clean up %APPDATA% cache too), AND in an unrelated incident, after doing a complete windows reinstall (twice w/formatted HD), the bug is still occurring.

Unsure what I can do on my end, especially after two fresh windows install instances.

Hey @Justify,

Thanks for reporting this! I've run into similar issues to what you've described, but it's not exactly the same for me. In my case it happens when I disconnect or reconnect my Surface to an external monitor. Do you happen to be using a device such as a laptop that might be using some special scaling settings? I haven't experimented with this myself as I normally just close and reopen the app when it happens, but it could be worth seeing if changing the scaling in your display settings to 100% makes any difference.

Anyway, thanks again for the report, and we will be sure to keep an eye on the community to see if any similar issues come up with other users.
