Can you explain in more detail what is the problem? What is not displaying properly? Size of the text?

I'm with Mishabalyasin,

I would also suggest the "ctrl + -" / control-minus shortcut, which will make your Global Options box smaller.

The problem is solved. "ctrl + -" is great. Thanks.

@ChengJun can you also share what kind of Windows machine you're running on? We've seen similar issues with an in-house Yoga 2 Pro laptop:

With a Yoga 2 Pro Ultrabook, 3200 x 1800 screen resolution, the Global Options p…age does not fit on the screen: ![scale](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1976582/43167032-40705a92-8f4d-11e8-8fbe-e7e79d0ee60f.JPG) Note that on this system, Windows has set the recommended scaling at 250%, which is part of the reason why this oversized UI happens: ![scaling](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1976582/43167115-71028784-8f4d-11e8-8f56-2b7180654786.PNG) I suspect that perhaps Windows uses higher UI scaling by default for laptops with touch displays, reflecting the fact that larger UI is usually required for touch actions. We should consider whether we could improve the default user experience for users with laptops / convertible tablets in this configuration, although I'm unsure what the best solution would be beyond attempting to detect the system scaling and under-zooming in response to a high scale.

I suspect that the default scaling level used by Windows laptops that also function as tablets is set somewhat higher than usual, which causes over-scaling of some RStudio UI elements.
