High DPI display causing UI misalignment

Having more than one display/monitor with at least one that has a different DPI setting (scaling) to the other monitor(s) causes the EA App to be overly large or small (depending on which display the EA App was started).

When I launch EA App on my 4k monitor using a scaling of 150%, it seems to render as it should. When I now move the window to my other monitor wich is set to a scaling of 100%, everything enlarges but the window itself does not resize. This causes a lot of the UI to be outside of the windows viewport. What should happen is that the window should scale down (which is seem to do) to make it match the window size on the scaled monitor. But shrink the UI items by a factor of 1.5 because the UI was rendered at a 1.5 scale when the EA App was launched on the high DPI monitor.

For months I've been dealing with this issue and now I finally make a bug report about it and I just wanted to make sure and check the DPI scaling properties for EALauncher.exe. You can probably guess it, but it was set to override: Override high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by: Application. I've disabled the override and now it works as it should... Not sure when that got checked, maybe I did it to try and solve the issue before?

Just glad this is fixed.
