Found some more info from another user: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/2292.
I am looking into seeing what is going on.

Itās not a Parallels issue, I have the same problem on a native Windows laptop. It may be related to Windows 7 though, which Iām unfortunately stuck with on this machine. The laptop has a high-DPI screen so I have Windows set to 150% text size. However, everything became larger than before when I upgraded to build 3170.
Then I connected a desktop monitor, and Iām pretty sure I saw Sublime Text enlarge itself even further, a couple seconds after I first saw it on the monitor. The monitor has a slightly lower resolution. Its DPI shouldnāt really have affected the size of anything, since Win7 doesnāt let you set it per monitor or change it without logging off.
For me, the dpi_scale setting doesnāt affect anything. I reduced font_size enough to get a comfortable text size. Here you can see the huge UI elements compared to the suitably sized text. Iād say the UI is about 2x as large as it should be. https://i.imgur.com/XqucmsP.png

I would have replied to you yesterday, but apparently thereās a limit on how many posts a new user can make. Iām a moderator on a huge forum, so I get it, but since itās very common for a user to make an account JUST to ask a question, this is amazingly frustrating not to be able to respond to you until a day later.

This is best asked in another thread since it doesnāt pertain to the discussion in this thread regarding the DPI scale of the window, but are you sure that you have permission to save files to the location youāre trying to save to? For example if youāre on MacOS or Linux you may be trying to save a file to the / folder, which is generally not allowed.

We have confirmed that there is a scaling issue on Windows 7 when the dpi_scale is above 1.0. There should be a new build soon to address the issue.

I have a similar issue on Windows 7. Its running naively and DPI scaling is set to 1.5 at the OS level . Sublime 3 3170 recognizes the 1.5 scaling. Everything is huge, including tabs size, font, and Side Bar.
DPI mode: system
DPI scale: 1.5
startup, version: 3170 windows x64 channel: stable
executable: /C/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe
working dir: /C/Program Files/Sublime Text 3
packages path: /C/Users/me/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Packages
state path: /C/Users/me/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Local
zip path: /C/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/Packages
zip path: /C/Users/me/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages

This is fixed in build 3171 (a dev build) and I believe the plan is to do a new stable build soon with this and few other fixes.
Related to this, build 3171 officially documents the previously undocumented dpi_scale setting, but it is restricted to Linux and intended for fixing high-DPI auto-detection.
However, all platforms now support a setting called ui_scale which allows changing the size of the entire UI.
