UI suddenly completely wonky RH8

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Some text miniscule, left-side of UI can’t grab it to resize width, and viewports covering toolbars – and this is the factory-style layout. Tried updating, but no difference. Of course could possibly be Nvidia Drivers, but that’s a whole other ball of wax since Rhino’s not the only app I use in my workflow.

Would super appreciate help on this, thanks! Sys info below.

EDIT: I exited out of Blender, plus did a restart. Back to normal. When-oh-when will I learn to do a Restart before I post? :roll_eyes:

Glad a restart sorted it out and thanks for the update. Worth noting what likely happened: your system has a hybrid GPU setup (RTX 3090 + RTX 4080), and Blender — like Rhino — drives the display heavily. When two GPU-intensive apps share display resources simultaneously, Windows can lose track of DPI scaling or window positioning, causing the kind of layout chaos you saw (tiny text, locked panel edges, viewports overlapping toolbars).

Makes sense, thanks. One follow-up Q: Would that be as likely to happen if both GPUs were same model?

Thanks
