I’m on a Mac but running the Windows version in Parallels (Win 7). I updated Sublime to the newest version, and now everything is magnified massively. Both the ‘code area’ and the file-tree sidebar. It’s like someone said ‘Zoom in 300%’ but ctr - / ctr 0 isn’t working to restore the default size. Plz help.
Updated Sublime - Now Everything is Huge

If you provide the contents of your ST Console that will help. Possibly a screenshot also.

Unzoom folders menu in sublime 3.1

Doing that made it tiny upon reboot. Note that I do have a native Mac version AND a Windows version running in Parallels on the same machine, using the same preferences file.
It has never been a problem in about a year of usage, until now.

To be clear, both Mac and Windows versions prompted me to do an update, and I did so in both cases. The Mac version updated with no issues. The Windows version updated and now everything which was sized properly before is now magnified hugely.

I did restart the Mac, but I didn’t restart the Win 7 VM. I’m gonna do that now and I have a feeling that may solve the issue. I should have tried that before. Sorry. Will keep you updated.

Your problem is exactly that you are using the same configurations file. The DPI of your Mac is different from the one on Windows.

But this has never been an issue until this update. I’ve been working with this setup for over a year. Why did it break all of a sudden?
Also, I just installed it ‘normally’. And I guess they both share the preferences file as default behavior (remember, this is Windows 7 running in Parallels on a MacBook Pro). I didn’t set it up in a special way.

It looks like the contents of the ‘code window’ are actually sized normally.
It’s the massive tabs and the contents of the sidebar that are magnified. Look at this new screenshot:

We implemented the (Microsoft) recommended approach DPI scaling across different screens. My hunch is that Parallels is somehow presenting that information to Windows incorrectly. The idea that the DPI scale would be 1.98 is very odd and why I think something is funky in Parallels. Windows itself will let you set it to 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, etc.
Do you have Windows set to scale things? Is Windows running in high DPI mode, or is it being scaled to your Mac retina screen by Parallels?

The way the tabs are stretched height-wise, but not so much width-wise makes me think something funky is up with the theme also.
Because you are getting different results when restarting is making me think that Parallels is doing something funky. Can you provide a screenshot when the dpi scale is set to 1.0 and also at 2.0?

I’m actually using the MacBook Pro with the lid closed, connected to two identical LG external monitors. In terms of whether Windows is set to scale things, I don’t know the answer to that.
What do you think is the best way to move forward? Is rolling back to the previous version possible/recommended? I had no complaints pre-update.

Are the external displays high DPI?
Rolling back will just mean you’ll be stuck on 3.0 forever, or until someone takes the time to help debug what is going on.

The displays are high DPI, but are set to 1080p
I mean, I feel like I’m wasting company time here. Being ‘stuck’ on a version that works doesn’t sound so bad.

You are not wasting their time, you are helping them fix a problem that might be affecting or will affect others.

There is nothing to stop you from going back. I’m willing to try to help you figure out what is going on, but honestly it kind of sounds like some weird Parallels issue. 1.98 is not a normal dpi scale factor. And if you are running them at 1080p, the dpi scale should be 1.0.

One way to fix this without rolling back would be to create a file named Preferences (Windows).sublime-settings in your ~/SublimeText3/Packages/User dir with the following content:
{
"dpi_scale": 1.0
}
The DPI value might need to be different, but the DPI will be different between Mac and Windows.
