I can only guess.

maplew.exe, that starts javaw.exe, might do that (passing command line options)

So, either there are commands possible in maple.ini or jawaw.exe has its own ini file or something can be set in the regedit.

The question is beyond the rendering issue and, IMO, worth branching off.

@Anthrazit 

I know that feeling. Either Windows was improved or the update reseted a configuration responsible for that anti-aliasing issue. In the second case the issue can come back.

@acer 

I would be happy if you could improve this simple example

with(ScientificConstants)

sigma; % = evalf(Constant(%))*GetUnit(Constant(%))

sigma = 0.5670366658e-7*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4))

(1)

alias(`#msub(mi("T"),mn("0"));` = T__0)

E = sigma*T^4

E = sigma*T^4

(2)

`ΔE` = sigma*(T^4-T__0^4)

`ΔE` = sigma*(T^4-`#msub(mi("T"),mn("0"));`^4)

(3)

params := sigma = 0.5670366658e-7*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4)), T__0 = 293*Unit('K'), T = 500*Unit('K')

sigma = 0.5670366658e-7*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4)), `#msub(mi("T"),mn("0"));` = 293*Units:-Unit(K), T = 500*Units:-Unit(K)

(4)

eval(`ΔE` = sigma*(T^4-`#msub(mi("T"),mn("0"));`^4), [params])

`ΔE` = 3126.070258*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4))*Units:-Unit(K)^4

(5)

lhs(`ΔE` = 3126.070258*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4))*Units:-Unit(K)^4) = convert(rhs(`ΔE` = 3126.070258*Units:-Unit(kg/(s^3*K^4))*Units:-Unit(K)^4), units, W/m^2)

`ΔE` = 3126.070258*Units:-Unit(W/m^2)

(6)

I think whatever caused the rendering issue is nothing that MapleSoft can influence. Its more on the level of the OS and graphics card drivers.Maybe a different Java IDE is better integrated and would perform better.

For curiosity: Can you now rotate the screen without changing the quality and is organising monitors this way acceptable for you?

@acer I am using rarely assignements for parameters. If possible I do algebra first and then (as a final step) switch to numerics (numerical values and plots) using subs/eval. This way I can avoid reexecuting worksheets each time parameters are changed. I find it also easier to compare different parameter sets.

I was trained like this. New numerical results could be drived from one numerical result by applying scaling laws to ratios of parameters. This saved allot of time and errors doing numerical calculations by hand

Some MapleFlow examples do it differently. Many intermediate numerical results (computed with the assignement operator) are calculated for a single final result that does not convey the functional dependcies of algebraic expressions. Updating a parameter or equation updates the whole document similar to reexecuting the whole document. Not my style.

Strange: It looks like as if fonts are rescaled. I see a degradation when the resolution changes during a session (i.e. when Maple is running). This is what Microsoft (and Maplesoft) says can happen.

Do all monitors have the same resolution? 

Do you run the recommended (from Windows) scaling?

Can you change from internal to external graphics?

What happens when the rotated monitor is not monitor number 1?

@acer 

Thank you. It seems that I have to use alias to keep the input compact

@dharr better than nothing. Thanks

@acer 

I compared this too (couting seconds). Its about 6 seconds on a 5y old i7 with SSD. I do not feel a huge difference to older versions. However in the past I was stuggeling with huge delays (about a minute). The delays vanished and today I attribute them to my network configuration (which I cannot influence) and/or older Windows builds. 

I also remember other users ( Anthrazit ?) reporting delayed startup which could be resolved by turning off the startup page (Welcome page start.mw) if I remember correctly.

PS. from Maple.ini: Length of Startup in ms=7757 & Length of Startup in ms=9850 with Maple Screen Reader and startup page

I am comparing versions 2024 and 2025 side by side with CodeTools:-Usage on a PC with 32Gb. So far I have not seen a degradation. 2025 seems to be a notch faster.

Edit: this comparision does not cover GUI related performance (only kernel and library)

I miss the "recompute section!" as well.

Are you refering to this help page: ?worksheet,documenting,tabkey

(The following never worked for me

Indentation and the Tab Key
The Tab key can be used to indent content in Text mode and in 1-D Math. To indent, ensure Tab Navigation is not selected.)

The format menu on my Windows 10 system system does not have an entry Tab settings

Which OS are you running?

I run Maple 2025 on 4k under Windows 10 and it works so far without "scaling issues" (it did not always work in previous versions)

Can you send screen shots?

@dharr 

                              

@acer 

It's the same with the legacy GUI.

P.S.: I also prefer the former worksheet opening behaviour

The Physics project and the swift deployment of updates are a key assets that distinguish Maple.

It's important that this great contribution continues.
