9.0.1 FP10 SHF81 (IF3) client upgrade is causing major havoc with high-res laptops

We have started to deploy the most recent IBM Notes client upgrade: 9.0.1 FP10 SHF81.

We have several users who have their brand new Lenovo X1 Carbon laptops, set to the recommended 2560 x 1440 screen resolution.

In every case, after the upgrade is applied, the UI is totally unusable.

Here is an example of how the workspace is displayed (database chicklets removed from workspace page on purpose)…

This issue presents itself if we displayed the ‘Discover’ page as well.

I have tried a couple of documented solutions…

This generic solution describes a change to the Windows registry: http://mattwhite.me/blog/2016/1/8/superb-fix-for-high-dpi-problems-with-notes-and-windows http://mattwhite.me/blog/2016/1/8/superb-fix-for-high-dpi-problems-with-notes-and-windows

This Notes-specific solution describes a change to the manifest file: windows 10 - IBM Domino Administrator - issue with High DPI display - Super User https://superuser.com/questions/1086279/ibm-domino-administrator-issue-with-high-dpi-display

Unfortunately, nothing so far has worked and I’ve had to roll these users back to the previous version.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Has anyone found a resolution for this issue?

Any suggestions/information would be greatly appreciated… Cheers!

I am not really helping here Terry more sharing, but I have had nothing but hassle with FP10 incredibly slow Designer, continuous ‘shared memory’ crashes when using XPiNC, even had lots of hassle downgrading to get rid of it, wish I had never seen it. All that said even on a high res monitor I haven’t experienced your problem.

Subject: The ‘Discover’ page appears just like the workspace

Thanks for your reply Ram… The ‘Discover’ page looks just as bad as the Notes Workspace pictured in my example.

Subject: same here

I suffer from this issue (in Notes Client) too, on my Lenovo laptop P51s with 4K display. The same as pictured here: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ndseforum.nsf/xpTopicThread.xsp?documentId=202D797750BCA100852582BC0042E9B2 http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ndseforum.nsf/xpTopicThread.xsp?documentId=202D797750BCA100852582BC0042E9B2

Poorly tested software. Any fix for that yet?
