Splash Screen scaling issue on Windows with 300% OS level zoom #2792
It's something that probably needs to be resolved in Platform UI (Workbench) code, as we already have some specific logic for the splash screen when using monitor-specific scaling. Maybe it's also an inconsistency between the Equinox launcher behavior (which initialized the splash) and the Workbench behavior (which takes over the splash handle from Equinox).
The problem is relatively minor ... it's "only" the splash screen. Everything afterwards is working OK.
I agree that this is minor in the sense that it has no impact on functionality or productivity with Eclipse tools. However, the splash is one of the the very first impressions you get from a tool (be it the IDE or any other RCP tool), so for the user's quality perception I would consider it of higher priority.

Thank you for the detailed report. I've added the issue to the umbrella:

We will definitely try to have a look.
