TextPad 9: File Open dialog box with 2 screens

I often use a 2nd screen with my laptop (laptop is main screen). With TextPad 9's new file open dialog box, I get inconsistent behaviour / scaling of the dialog box - depending on which screen that TP is on.
  • When TP is on laptop screen, dialog seems ok (appears on laptop screen):

  • When TP is on 2nd screen, dialog seems shrunken/scaled down (appears on laptop screen):

For now, I have reverted back to using "standard file open dialog box".

Also notice the 2nd/shadow box that appears in 2nd fig - I can resize dialog using the edge of "proper" dialog or edge of "shadow" dialog.

I don't see this problem using TextPad 9.2.3 on a PC running Windows 11 with dual screens, one at 1920 x 1080 resolution and the other at 1280 x 1024. I've tried with both the standard and themed dialog boxes and with TextPad on either display while the dialog box is on the other one. What configuration are you running?

TP 9.2.3, Win10 x64 - no themes (just standard Windows appearance)
- laptop 1920*1080, scaling 125%
- 2nd screen 1920*1080, scaling 100%

Maybe the different scaling factors are problematic?
