Hello everyone. I am in dire need of help. While working on my case (Windows 10, ParaView
5.7.0) my screen suddenly zoomed in (as shown in the attached picture). It happens only if I change the colouring from anything that was set as default - I can still freely use streamlines, StreamLIC plugin, etc… But I need to show vorticity as surface colours, and this prevents me from doing it. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I have tried reinstalling ParaView, but it did not help.
Thank you in advance for all responses.

Caused by a bug in intel driver. Downgrade your driver :

As a workaround, I believe you can also make sure the _Color Map Editor_ panel is closed to prevent this from happening to the main render window. If you don’t see the _Color Map Editor_, you can close it through the View -\> Color Map Editor menu item.

I just found another workaround. Instead of using my Intel GPU, which is set to default, I can use my second Nvidia GPU. That solves the issue. But thank you for your replies, now I will be more aware of what went wrong.

Using the NVIDIA GPU is the best solution all around 🙂

And my victory was shortlived. Suddenly I experience the same issue on my Nvidia GPU as well. It may be due to the issue I was running it on my laptop battery while saving power, but I wanted to keep it as a possibility here so maybe someone knows another cause apart from Intel drivers.
And @cory.quammen the render window does not have this problem. Only the rest of the GUI .

tbh I doubt that. Can you access the Help -\> About menu and share it here ?

Here you have the details of my Help-\> About. Also. I figured out the technique to make it all work. I open any .dat file on my Nvidia GPU. Then, I import my .vtk file (SU2 7.0.0 gives the results in .vtk format, I need to check how to swap it to .dat in the new version) and delete the previous .dat file. Now I can freely edit my .vtk file. Who knew?

I had this problem on my laptop using intel UHD 620 integrated graphics for display rendering. Today (1/17/2020) I updated the driver and the resizing issue seems to be resolved.
The driver version I updated to is 26.20.100.7584

I omitted that, I just use Nvidia graphics and open .dat file before anything. As long as it works I will stick to this.

@cory.quammen : We need to try the update asap.

On 26.20.100.7261 / Intel UHD 620 (the latest driver version offered by Lenovo for this system) the UI still breaks.

I also have a Lenovo laptop, but I went to Intel’s website to update this graphics driver. Version 26.20.100.7584 is dated as released on 11/26/2019.

The driver installer downloaded from Intel refused to install (said something about not being suitable for this ThinkPad). However, going to the device manager and updating the driver by right-clicking and letting it automatically update did the trick.
Now I’m on 26.20.100.7528 and Paraview is working again.
