BUG: Compllete corruption on Windows 11

[BindingOx]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

Hey, I guess I'm the only one in the world with this bug because I don't see it anywhere but the new version, v1.19.5, completely makes Flow Launcher unusable for me. I downgraded to the previous version and everything worked nicely again. But I accidentally upgraded with Winget and after kicking myself for forgetting, I figured I will create a bug report. I can't even provide a good screenshot because the input box is just transparent, unclickable, corrupted and right click doesn't work well on it. Menu items when you right click on the right icon, disappear as you hover over them.

Hello. I checked this problem. (The cause is being searched) As a temporary solution, press Ctrl+I with the flow open and adjust the shadow on the exterior page. Alternatively, the problem can be solved by changing the DPI processing on the attribute side after right-clicking the program icon.

Can I know the info?
1.screen resolution of the monitor you are using
2. If I use the previous version, is there no problem with the previous version?

1. Widescreen 3440x1440. No external monitor attached.
2. I'm back in the previous version and installed without Winget this time so I don't accidentally update 😂. All is well now.

@BindingOx Hello, I have a few questions regarding this issue:

Could you provide the version numbers for both the working and non-working versions?
Are you using the portable version of the software?
Are you using a file manager other than the default file explorer (e.g., Total Commander, Directory Opus, etc.)?

Replaced CPU and GPU stopped working so I'll have to go to repair shop. Off the top of my head, non-portable versions and OneCommander. Don't remember version numbers

Thank you for the confirmation. It's a little strange, but if you run FLOW with a program that doesn't match the DPI at high resolution screen, there may be a problem that the DPI changes together. (It means,, it may be different from when running FLOW on the basic file explorer and when running on ONE COMMANDER)

I found a solution, but it's still being tested, and if it doesn't work out, it can actually be solved by turning on a simple dpi scaling on the user's window. I'll test more and let you know if there's any progress.

I've confirmed that this is a difficult issue to resolve from the code side. Please try right-clicking the Flow executable or shortcut in the latest version and configuring it as shown above, then let us know if the issue is resolved.
