Finale 25 on Surface Pro 3: "Large Tool" icons are not lined up properly within the palette tiles [SOLVED]

Hello,

I use Finale v25 on my Surface Pro 3 (native resolution 2160x1440). When I check the "Large Tool" icons in Preferences, "the images" in the palettes are slightly uneven (as shown here: https://i.imgur.com/aZHjzee.png) whereas when I don't check Large Tool icons, the whole thing is fine. However, I really want to use large tool icons.
Can this be fixed in the next update?

With Large Tools icons selected:

You'll see that the icon images are slightly cut off and uneven

Without Large Tools selected:

You'll see that the icon images are completely fine

I circled them for better clarity. You can see that it starts off fine, then gradually, the subsequent icons are not in the middle of the "tiles"

On the Finale main website, it says in system requirements "high resolution displays are currently not supported"
I hope in the next update that this palette issue will be fixed and the next version of Finale will be optimised to be more "tablet friendly."

Cheers,
Liam

For starters, many applications are having graphics issues with high-res displays, Mac and Windows. It's not just Finale. I have no idea what the problem is other than it's frustrating a lot of people.

Palettes are floating in the Mac version so that's not much help in Windows. Sorry.

I have found a solution to this problem. I simply went into display settings and changed the custom scaling to 175% (changes the size of text, apps, other items). The issue gets carried over to the small tool icons but choosing the large tool icons are now great!
