mlapp scaling/zoom errors

Hi,

mlapps designed in appdesigner no longer appear the same way when running, as in app designer. Margins are different etc. I am using windows 11 but did not have these issues on an earlier windows version and same matlab version. Zooming with mouse wheel + ctrl scales most but not all ui elements, a uiaxes is unaffected by zooming. No zoom level can make the app look acceptable.

1. How can I make the app appear the exactly same way in appdesigner and when running? Currently what you see is NOT what you get.
2. How can I prevent zooming? I have set resize off, but that makes no difference.

This is a serious issues as I have no control over the appearance of the application.

Thanks,

M

The zoom issue you are describing has been fixed for the R2025a release and is avalable in the R2025a pre-release. There is no workaround for the zoom issues in R2024b.

Hi Adam, Many thanks for responding! Good that #2 is known and a fix is coming! What about #1, any idea or advice on that one?

You're welcome!

I was wondering how to addresss #1. It's hard to say without seeing what the differences are. It could be related to an accessibility feature in Windows 11 or it could be due to a change with java components. To get more targeted help with issue #1 contact tech support and include information about your MATLAB release and operating system. Feel free to reference this thread.
