Windows 11 and inkscape

[Wichman]

While not just an inkscape problem, I'm hoping someone here can help.

On my new to me computer, the program windows are too large for the screen. In inkscape the "stroke" section is out of the visible area, it's there, I can see the top of the stroke area, a few pixels, but I can't figure out how to fix this. I've changed resolutions and have resized the window, making it less than the whole screen, but I can't get the bottom of the screen to show.

This also happens with Libre office, when working with fonts I can't see the last font on the system, and it's one I use a lot.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Shows how much I keep up with the times.. I never even heard of windows 11 until you posted this.. so I research and find it was released in 21, LOL.. I used to be all into the computer stuff and knew windows 98 inside and out.. now I get a issue and have no clue how to fix it, LOL

I hope someone here can help you get things figured out.. i guess since I've never heard of windows 11 I'm not that guy, LOL

I use Windows 11, Inkscape and LibreOffice and do not have your issue.

I don't think it is an Inkscape setting.

Have you checked your display setting.  Below are my setting.  (you get this by the window in you task bar or on your desktop right click for display settings)

I have used multiple screens and not had an issue either

Don, I tried the display adjustment, it kinda worked in inkscape but not at all in libre.

One solution in inkscape is to press F11 to access the lowest part of the screen and then again to get the upper portion back again.

Right click somewhere on your desktop that isn't an icon.  Choose display settings.  

Adjust the display resolution.  It is quite likely the monitor you have is a different resolution than the previous owner used.  Just step down through the options until you find one that fits.  

May help, may not.  I'm not terribly good at remote troubleshooting; much better when I'm in front of the device.

Hope this helps!

Can you post a screen shot of the issue? It does sound like a resolution problem.
