FreeCAD resizes wrong when opening/creating project
I installed FreeCAD today for the first time and tried to open a .STEP file.
After that the project has been loaded the window completely resized/zoomed wrong and now every button/textbox etc. is blurry.
The position detection for every button has also moved (see screenshots)
If I restart FreeCAD everything is normal again until I open or create a project
I also tried to just create a new project and it also happened there.
I tried version 0.18 and 0.18.3 and the problem still occurs.
I'm using Windows 10 64 bit 1703 with FreeCAD build 16131 (Git)
Btw I have a EliteDisplay E240 as pc-screen
Are you also experiencing this issue?

Hello @papyblaise
I also downloaded FreeCAD on my personal computer and I have no problems so I assume its a bug or something.
"It's a bit disturb, it's alway like that" I dont think that you see the problem. This forum isn't made for big images cause you can't see the bluriness in it (yes, the whole window is really blurry/not sharp).
I try to explain the problem more clearly:
If I open a project or create one the window seems to some sort zoom in and everything gets blurry/not sharp. The whole upper toolbar has disappeard because of this zoom and theres no way to reach it.
Even if I grab the window and then dock it onto the whole screen again nothing will change.
Tomorrow I will upload the image to a website so you can see it in full size, then you will notice that this isn't right.

What is you GFX card brand & model ?
IIRC I already saw such a thing on the forum. I'll try to find it back.

Sorry for multiple posting.
As a first step could you please :
As a first step could you please :
- Try to reset your user.cfg and system.cfg files (move or delete it) ? IIRC, location for Windows is in %APPDATA%\Roaming\FreeCAD\
- Verify if the Py2Qt4 version of 0.19 found here also have the problem ?

Re: FreeCAD resizes wrong when opening/creating project
I don't have any external graphics card in my work place just the Intel HD Graphics 630 which comes from the Intel Core i5-7500 3.40 GHz.
- The Py2Qt4 version of 0.19 is working but it is really slow in the startup compared to the 0.18 version. No more "zooming in" on this one.
- Your second method didn't work for 0.18, still "zooming in".

Re: FreeCAD resizes wrong when opening/creating project
Looks like one of this problem with Qt5 + Intel HD GFX combo.
First you can check that your GFX drivers are the latest release.
Then it's worth testing the LP_12.1.2 Py3Qt5 version from the link I previously gave (be careful not to take the Conda one).
Not sure it will solve the problem, but Qt5.12.1 has solved some issues.

Re: FreeCAD resizes wrong when opening/creating project
The driver of the GFX is up to date.
I downloaded the "FreeCAD_0.19.17433_x64_LP_12.1.2_PY3QT5-WinVS2015.7z" but this version is worse.
Now the "zoom in" is already active when I start the program and still persists when I open or create a project (see screenshot).
Also the hovering detection of the buttons is not where the buttons are (see second screenshot ^^)

Re: FreeCAD resizes wrong when opening/creating project
Compared to Intel website, or PC manufacturer one ? We see most times here that drivers are actually not.
Really not sure, but maybe applying tips described on this post may help.
