Vscode: Right-click menu font much smaller since updating. Almost unreadable.

[justinline]

• VSCode Version: 1.12.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 15.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code
2. Right click workbench or code
3. Disabling Extensions has no effect

Have the same result.

Likely due to the electron update. Related/duplicate: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/26036

I'm also facing the same problem since I updated this. It has been 3 days. Any solutions?? Or can anybody tell where the JSON config of this?

[bpasero]

@justinline @maraisr @shivendra-it does it make a difference when you start with the following flags (please try setting either one, and both at the same time):

• code --high-dpi-support=true
• code --force-device-scale-factor=1 (can you also try --force-device-scale-factor=2)

[shivendra-it]

@bpasero I have tried the following methods. But they didn't seem to work.

@bpasero
code --force-device-scale-factor=1 is working for me on Ubuntu 15.04

[maraisr]

@justinline do you think we can get code alone to default this flag?

@justinline is the impact only visible in the context menu if you do that or in other parts of the UI too (e.g. the top menu?)

[justinline]

@bpasero top bar was never an issue for me, it just looked like the system UI?

[shivendra-it]

Hello @bpasero,
I'm still facing the same problem. I'm attaching below screen shot. (I also had updated electron.)

Any fix??

Adding --force-device-scale-factor=1 to the code.desktop file seems to be working on Ubuntu 16.04.

I'll be waiting for an official fix tho

[maraisr]

That works @hielfx.

sudo vi /usr/share/applications/code.desktop

- Exec=/usr/share/code/code --unity-launch %U
+ Exec=/usr/share/code/code --force-device-scale-factor=1 --unity-launch %U

- Exec=/usr/share/code/code --new-window %U
+ Exec=/usr/share/code/code --force-device-scale-factor=1 --new-window %U
