    I know it sounds strange but it keeps happening! Look at the attachement to see what I mean. This box is part of a two-factor vpn thingy and I can't see the information to log in!!!

    Anyone see this before or can suggest a fix?

    Thanks,

    So turns out that if you set the video resolution in the Config to More Space instead of Retina, everything snaps to a small size but seems to work perfectly. Looks like the Retina setting needs some more work.

    And it goes on. After a few weeks of no strange behavior, the growing button is back. This is especially bad because if I am remote from the office, I have to use a multiple factor security process that requires a pop up that has several choices in it that I can no longer see to choose. So no vpn access. Definitely need help with this!

    The only think I can figure is that when having the DPI set to high in Windows 7, it keeps adding adding the DPI to the previous ones for certain things like the close button, only in certain windows. It doesn't happen in programs, for instance, just in a few pop up windows built by the company. The first I usually see is a script that runs the daily announcement. This script is a VBE file that pulls a server located HTML file and displays it with some info and server drives and printers I have mapped.

    The second is the VPN window that pulls a random file that has selections in it for me to enter into the VPN client.

    My thinking is that somehow the state of that window and icon are being saved by Parallels Tools or Windows 7 itself and when they are called again, having the DPI increase automatically applied to the last saved state of the window.
