Font Size Too Small in Separate Process Mode (ReSharper)
Hi JetBrains team,
After updating to ReSharper 2025.2, I've noticed that when using Separate Process mode, the font in the Unit Test Explorer becomes extremely small—almost unreadable. This issue doesn't occur in Integrated mode, where font scaling behaves normally.
I'm not sure whether I'm on the EAP or Community edition, but I do have a paid license. Running on a high-DPI display, and other Visual Studio components render correctly.
Is there a known fix or workaround for this font scaling issue in Separate Process mode?

Hello Tim Murphy, thank you for your feedback. I’m not sure I understand what the problem looks like, so it's hard to say whether it’s a known issue or not. Could you please attach a screenshot illustrating the issue? Can you also share the resolution and scale configured for your monitor? Thank you!
Sorry, I think I might have understood what the problem is. The problem is likely related to DPI and should be fixed in ReSharper 2025.3 (next release): RSRP-501485 File Structure is broken in OOP when running in /noScale or non-per monitor dpi : Hosted HWND must be a child window of the specified parent. The backend process is running in DPI per-monitor aware mode, while the Visual Studio process is running in system DPI aware mode. They need to be synchronized. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for now.
But I’d still would like to ask you to share a screenshot of how it looks on your side. Thank you!
Hi Maria,
Thanks for the update.
I've attached two images showing the issue: one of the in-process view and another of the separate process view.
For context, here are my Windows display settings:
* Text Size: 161%
* Display resolution: 2560 x 1080 (Recommended)
* Scale: 100% (Recommended)
I hope this helps!
Hi Tim, thank you for the additional information! A release with the fix is coming in a couple of weeks, and you’ll be able to install it to see if the issue is resolved. In the meantime, please keep an eye on the YouTrack issue for updates. Thank you!
