As a workaround I start drawio from command line with flag --force-device-scale-factor=2.

Would be nice to have something similar to ctrl-+ and ctrl-- that works in the web based version.

This was marked as completed, but does this mean an actual solution has been introduced or that the workaround should be used?

This is especially a problem with the shape library. It's a shame to spend time hovering over several shapes with small differences to pick the right one when there's so much free desktop space.

I cannot recreate the issue. I have both 4k and 5k displays and don't get these issues. Someone needs to file a reproducible report.

How do you zoom the UI? e.g. the menu font size?

How do you zoom the UI? e.g. the menu font size?

In the online-version using web browser's Ctrl-+ makes both bigger, the diagram content and the UI elements. In the desktop version, only diagram content becomes bigger. I am using the workaround mentioned above: --force-device-scale-factor=2 switch on application start.

I'm interested in the desktop version on Wayland Linux (flatpack) and unfortunately the workaround does not work (actually it has a strange effect that make the UI unusable).

Closing due to lack of repro.
