I was updating some turn of the century code when I ran into this anomaly using Visual Studio 2015 Community c++.
It appears to be a display issue because I have an app that produces source (PowerBASIC) from a running applications window. The sizes for the window and the edit controls match the sizes used in the c++ code for both displays .
I tested with the TDM-GCC compiler (http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/) for the c++ code and also using PellesC compiler.
I did a few preliminary tests compiling on Win10 and running on Win7 and Compiling on Win7 and running on Win7. I also tested on different computers with different monitor resolutions just to be sure. All results were the same. The Visual Studio 2015 created app did not display correctly. Any insights?
Thank you for your time.
