Default Option buttons are distorted on some PCs


Recently, a spreadsheet has started displaying distorted controls on some PCs.
See the attachment for a picture of what is happening. They look fine when I create them. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks.

That is most likely a display driver issue. Try downloading & installing the latest display drivers for the PCs concerned.

Thanks for the response, macropod.

I've checked that the drivers are the latest and Windows is up to date. (unless there is something I don't understand about how to do this.)

Now it is acting up on my machine. I'm working on a Windows 10 64-bit SurfacePro 7 with an LG 34" WQHD widescreen attached via HDMI cable. I created the workbook with the LG screen as the working screen and the SurfacePro screen off. If I used extended displays or turn off the LG and turn on the SurfacePro screen only, the same issue occurs.

I've read online (vba - Excel: the Incredible Shrinking and Expanding Controls - Stack Overflow) where others have this issue and have solved it by setting the control height and width on worksheet activation using shp.height = shp.height and shp.width = shp.width, and it seems to "undistort" the option buttons, but for some reason, it also moves them to a different location. It completely resizes buttons and dropdowns as well as moves them. It also moves checkboxes.

Does the additional info give you any other ideas?
