Yes, I have been aware of the textbox scaling, and also the "show output size" red boundary being visible in VE Author if the step is updated with the show output size option checked. I'm not sure if the red outline boundary is visible in VE Viewer, have not tested it, but can.
Prior to this current project, we have published to a predetermined aspect ratio and resolution (1920 x 1080 HD) and publishing without the 'show output size' option checked for each step. This has worked correctly, but does not scale correctly when an alternate monitor resolution or aspect ratio is chosen. This also occurs with our older, but still in use, VE Viewer SDK 7.0. Was curious if there is a fix for this in the current SDK or soon to be released VE Viewer 9.
Another factor is the default of Windows 8 and above setting the default text size to 150% vs. the 100% text size in Windows 7. This also causes an unexpected scaling issue with all 2D content, textboxes, SDK hotspots, titling, etc.
Thanks again,
Bill T.
