Details:

I use 2 screens. 

The display on the editor window looks weird when I open an existing file, it
seems that some characters are overlapping.

(see first screenshot)

A way to fix this is to move the octave window to the other screen (window
does some re-scaling, and the font looks right now), and then if I move the
window back to its original position, the display stays correct without
overlapping glitch.
(see second screenshot)

Another way that fix the issue is to go to the style menu where you can change
the font, and click "apply" without changing anything. It freezes a bit (a few
seconds), then display is fine.


Setup :

Windows 10

Laptop with a 1920*1080 (native) resolution, extended with another screen
(same resolution, but the secondary monitor is physically quite wider, like
40% more).

Laptop is primary display, screen is secondary.

also, I noticed that on windows display settings, the "Scale and layout"
option is set to 125% for the primary, whereas the secondary screen is at
100%.
