Very wide message boxes

Hello,

Since Windows 10 1809 update on host PC the VMWare message boxes dimesions are affected. It looks like that:err.png

It occurs only when on Host is more than one monitor. Before update every messages looked normally.

Have you got any ideas to solve this inconvenience?

I have this issue too, on Windows 10 1809, and VMware Workstation 12 Pro 12.5.9 build-7535481

I'm also using a nVidia GeForce GTX 980 and version 411.70 of their drivers, which I also updated at the time of the 1809 update, so it's also suspect.

If the VMware window is maximized on one screen, the dialog box spans all 3 of my monitors.  If the window is not maximized, the dialog box appears correctly.

I have the same issue as well on Windows 10. I have an nVIDIA P1000 with the newest drivers.

I had this from the beginning on my Lenovo P330 workstation.

If I don't maximize the window for VMware Workstation but make it fill most of my screen, it doesn't happen.

Hi guys, we also have the same problem. All message boxes span over two or three monitors.

I updated today to the latest 14.1.6 build-12368378 and the error is still here.

Can you fix this guys....

Regards, Dadek

We also have this issue. It does this only when VMware Workstation window is maximized. if you manually scale the windows size without maximising it, the message boxes are normal scale.
