Bug Report: Program fails to unscale, breaks windows

[DefectiveByDesign]

Program fails to unscale after game exit, or changing resolution mode. I have to exit the program to reset the scale state.

This also screws up windows scaling after exit, and ruined Steam. So I can't click minimize or exit on any steam windows, or any other button, even the right click menu. The program needs to be able to handle game exit and task switching to be usable. As is, it breaks the OS.

It should handle game exit. Do you have some specific game it doesn't work with or you have it with every game? If you change resolution in the game it won't change scale settings, you have to change them manually. What happens when you change resolution?

Does it screw up windows after you exit a game (change resolution) or all the time when you unscale?

The specific game I tested this with is Quake Remastered. I use the auto setting in LS, and changing game resolution disables the scaler, but the program thinks it is still enabled. Same with exiting the game.

I cannot click the unscale button, because it makes the screen change resolution to something really magnified and low res.

I think the program might work if I manually disable scaling before exiting the game, but I'd probably need to reboot windows to see if that fixes whatever it screwed up. I don't understand why it breaks the OS after I exit the program. I don't know if task switching works either, so it seems to be required to manually toggle off before doing anything.

edit: Seems like steam was the main program screwed after exiting. I restarted steam and changed the DPI scaling behavior to application, which should keep it from being overridden.

I can confirm there is a bug, after exiting the game it unscales but the main window still has "Unscale" button. It is fixed.
Other than that I can't reproduce your issues. If you change resolution while the game is scaled and something goes wrong you can always use the scale hotkey to stop the scaling.

I haven't had any more issues after figuring out what caused it. I think windows got confused with the DPI scaling, and I set Steam to use application scaling. So the problem hasn't re-appeared. I just have to avoid changing resolution while the game is scaled, and things work fine.
