Research direction

Start by reproducing the mismatch with the Execute Display button, especially in a docked window, and compare its autoscaling with the editor’s red-border dimensions. Trace where the executed display determines its viewport and applies the width/height zoom functions. Done means the executed display respects the configured size and its content fits the viewport without the reported scrollbar mismatch.

Description

Similar to the Issue from 2023 see https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/issues/2729:

Version 5.0.2 still has this issue at our site. Any suggestion how to fix it?

In the Display editor, everything works fine and the dropdown width/height/all in a separate or docked window will scale according to the displayed red border. However, every time we use the execute display button, these autoscaling functions ignore the set display size (red border) in the file. This is more obvious in the docked window state.

Seems like Display does not get correct viewport sizes of the current window and in addition the display ignores the set display sizes.

Does anyone else can replicate it?
