Topic: Instrument Window Size in Cubase

In Cubase 11 Pro when I bring up the Pianoteq 7 Stage instrument (Cubase: "Edit Instrument") it appears inside a giant black rectangle almost 4 times its size.   This unnecessarily takes up too much screen real estate and prevent me from seeing other things on my screen.    The giant black window has no resizing handles in it to resize it smaller.    How do I fix this?

PS - I don't see any way to post images so I can't post a screenshot...   But here is a link to a Cubase support forum asking the same question.

Re: Instrument Window Size in Cubase

If i understand correctly the problem has been solved in that Cubase forum.
It seems you need to change PTQs UI size to anything, even the original size.
Although it sounds more or less  like a workaround than a solution.

It's not a good workaround.   If I close the editor and reopen it the big black box returns, so it's clearly a bug.    The fact that this does not happen in any other VST I've ever seen in Cubase suggests the bug is in Pianoteq.   

How do we get this reported ion on a list to be fixed?

Re: Instrument Window Size in Cubase

I'm on Cubase Elements 10.5 and have no issues with PTQ.
I fiddled with different resolutions and the HiDPI mode but wasn't able to replicate the bug on my system.
Nevertheless, i own two plugins which show funny scaling problems in Cubases HiDPI mode.
When i uncheck HiDPI in the settings and restart Cubase the VSTs are displayed correctly.

You can always contact Modartts support.
