** Fresh installs means deleting the CB config data and re-installing CB
It does NOT default the correct way!
Also, it is not mentioned anywhere that is easily found by somebody who has not been spending half of his/her life hanging around this forum.
Specifically, it is not in user guide nor FAQ (in Wiki).

Ok, thanks, it solved the problem!
However, I must ask, are you guys kidding?!? This ticket was marked as fixed, meaning that the user is assumed to somehow know to change a mystical parameter "Technology" from somewhere in settings to be able to use different displays

There's a problem with editor font: When I am using laptop with external monitor fonts are fine, but when I use laptop alone with its own display (2880x1800), fonts in editor are miniscule, and they cannot be adjusted from editor settings. Whatever I choose for the font size it is just miniscule and cannot be read. The only way to change it to be readable is to use ctrl+ to zoom. Also zoom from menu does not work, only ctrl+ works. But this has to be done for each file separately, and when I change to use external monitor, fonts become too large. This can be solved of course by deleting layout file and starting from default.
I tried to delete all files below AppData/Roaming/Codeblocks so that it starts from default settings, but it did not change the behaviour with laptop's own display. The problem is not only because of the resolution 2880x1800: when I use external monitor then fonts are fine also in laptop's display.
My setup:
Samsung Book4 Ultra with Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 185H
Windows 11 23H2
