Solved TextBox rendering issue (possible a bug)

[GPGeorge]

Good call but I tried that already at 150% scaling and it still does it.

I do my Access stuff in VirtualBox. The version 7.1 has a bug in which the selected resolution is always off by 1 pixel, so you get weird resolutions like 1919x1199 instead of 1920x1200. Perhaps that throws something off in the renderer in which case it might not have something to do with Access itself but the underlying subsystem. I'll only know once VirtualBox fixes this annoying bug.

Please let us know how that turns out. I guess we could have saved a bit of Sturm und Drang, though, if you'd mentioned this bug in your VirtualBox VM at an earlier point in the discussion...

How about 100% scaling? Same issue?

While I don't claim to have seen the low-level code for video rendering & formatting, I would not hesitate for even a moment to say that it probably involves integer math and therefore some level of integer truncation for many of the scaling factors. Particularly when you start from something that will introduce ugly fractions to the mix, like 1919/1920 or 1199/1200.
