Not only have we not found a workaround, but we have also discovered that on some screens, Sage will crash when you have increased your monitor size to 125% or higher.  So be cautious when changing the monitor display settings.

Thank you for responding and thank you for the caution.  Hopefully Sage is working on this as a future enhancement.

Going to chime in on this nearly one year old thread and comment that I have done some fairly extensive testing with Windows 10 and Sage (both local and in a remote/Citrix environment).  This was an issue in Windows 7 and 8 but not as bad as it is now.  I can confirm that even with version 18.X of Sage 300 CRE, if you change your "font/screen size" to 125% or 150% you will have distorted Sage windows, missing text at times and worst of all the program will appear to lock when it flashes a pop up that does not actually show on any available monitors.   There are little keyboard tricks to try and make hidden windows show in this situation but in a Remote Desktop environment it is really not a good option and at the end of the day we tell our users we only support setting it to 100%.  In addition, even at 100%, we have seen Sage pop up windows not appear when people move their Sage screens to secondary monitors so along with 100% only we also tell people that all Sage screens (Desktop, modules, pop up's, background tasks) must stay on the monitor marked as primary.

This has been wrong since 13.1 The data entry boxes should expand to full screen. The font should be scalable

Were talking to deaf ears

After a morning of data entry in AP my eyes hurt and I get a head ach

A 26" monitor helps some but not enough

Has this been fixed yet?  VERY DISAPPOINTING STILL.

It's not like I'm using a no-name computer, it's a Microsoft Surface Book 2 and I have to go to a second computer to do many tasks because not being able to see columns.

I put in a request on the "submit idea" area years ago and I went back to the page a few months ago and only 2 people "liked" the idea so it is at the bottom of the pile.  If more people requested this perhaps a change would be made.  I also found that if you change the font size to see your screen better you will lose some data on reports if you leave it on the same font.  I understand the frustration of eye strain and headaches from using this product.  It is silly that something can't be done about this.  People have called me to recommend a software to upgrade to and when discussing SAGE the first thing I say is that you will probably have issues with the size of the fonts and screens!

Thanks. I will now pay more attention to those "like" options.

I just went and voted for all the "font size" enhancements.  A few of them were 100+ votes

I actually just looked at the "top" ones and font size is #4 on the list.  THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!!

Awesome!  Thank you - my old tired eyes will appreciate the effort to make changes :)

I submitted and idea for this several times also.  But no response from Sage.  I'm having to wear reader glasses to be able to see the screen and this is only time I need glasses!

If I were a betting man I would say that this may never get fixed in lieu of Sage Intacct

Intacct doesn't include payroll from what I see...

Looks to me like Sage would fix this problem.  This is the #1 biggest problem with their programs.  

I have absolutely no inside info but I think they will really push cloud going forward and include all modules in to it as needed.  Just an opinion. 

That sounds like buying more software!

Hi Jeff,

Sage is still investing heavily in Sage 300 CRE despite the Sage Intacct project. We realize that a solution like Sage Intacct may be a good fit for some of our customers, but not all, so we are continuing to improve Sage 300 CRE. Our current development focus beyond compliance/regulatory is focused on providing solutions for the top ranked items on the "Submit Enhancement Idea" site. Please use that site and vote for the items you would find most useful to your business as we will be pulling items directly from that site. In addition, please promote that site to your friends/colleagues as the more feedback we receive the more applicable the changes we deliver will be. Look for some of these suggestions to be implemented in the very near future. 

Thanks, 

Phil
