CCS/CODECOMPOSER: CCS V7.3 IDE missing menu buttons

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi, I’m (still) having problems with the TI CCS V7 interface display. (previously posted as: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/p/569357/2104725

Some of the menu buttons do not appear correctly on explorer and edit view toolbar ribbons.

Please see the jpg image screenshot in the attached zipfile for comparison of my install vs. normal.

I initially encountered this problem back on first V7 release, and was waiting for new releases to remedy, but to no avail.

Prior to install of V7.3, I deleted all existing install directories for all earlier CCS versions, and removed all workspaces.

I also cleaned up my c:\user files, rigorously following suggestions in: < http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv7 >

The program appears to install and start up correctly but is missing various menu buttons. My latest install is very minimal, with only msp430 support included, and no add on's.

I also tried the reset perspective and – clean options, and switching to new workspace, and deleting all jxbrowser folders as per

< https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/595470 >

 

The attached zip file also contains the runtime log (from first run after install) which lists some:

“ org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: “ errors.

 

I also included the install logs directory in the same zip file, however I don’t know how to decipher them to investigate the problem any further.

Platform:

OS: Windows 10.

Machine: Dell 3800 laptop

Install source: CCS7.3.0.00019_win32 (offline zip file)

 ccsv7 screenshot and error and install logs.zip

Any help or suggestions on how to repair, or reinstall correctly would be appreciated.

Thanks

    John,

    Does the machine still have a 4k resolution screen as mentioned in the previous post?

    There were some known scaling issues with Eclipse and high resolution displays (one bug report here), however these are supposed to be addressed in the 4.6 version of Eclipse that is included in CCS 7.3. I also found these additional bugs (here and here) that sound more like the issue you are seeing. One of them says it is fixed but one is still open. Could you take a look at these and see if they apply to your environment with regards to custom DPI settings?

    Aarti G,
    thank you for responding so quickly.
    my Dell 3800 screen resolution is set to 3840 x 2160 pixels, and my original text scale factor was set to 275%.
    after setting to 100%, the missing menu ribbon icons re-appeared.
    after some trial and error, I found that using a text scaling of 265% retained both the menu icons and general readability.
    increasing scaling slightly to 275% is too much for Eclipse and the icons disappear.

    thanks again, you solved a very frustrating problem.
