Problem Statement
Recent Windows versions support Text Scaling at High DPI screens, but it doesn't work well for some legacy application. The issues include: texts blur, element dislocation and element disappear.

Solution
Text Scaling can be disabled for per application. Here is a workaround for the issue if you have to enable Text Scaling for other applications because of High DPI screens:
  1. Find the DMC3 Builder (or any other application has issue under Text Scaling) )in Start Menu and right click it.
  1. Select Open file location from context menu, it opens a File Explorer window. Find the DMC3 Builder item and right click it.
  2. Select Properties menu to open Properties dialog, switch to Compatibility tab.
  3. If your OS is server like Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2012 R2, check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings and click OK to save it. This operation will disable the text scaling for specific applications only but enables for others.
  1. If your OS is desktop like Windows 10 or Windows 8.1, the workflow is little different. Click Change high DPI settings button at Compatibility tab, then check Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in settings, and also check Override high DPI scaling behavior.
