This most often occurs on systems that use a DPI setting of more than 100%. To disable scaling in RDM you must adjust the compatibility settings on the Windows shortcut for RDM.
- Right-click on the shortcut to RDM.
- Select Properties.
- Go to the Compatibility tab.
- Check Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
