Power BI windows/dialogs "cut in half"

I'm having a lot of problems with some windows that is "cut in half" in Power BI, especially in the Query Editor. How to solve this? Already tried to open a ticket with Power BI team, but no response for the past 7 months. Many colleagues are having the same problem. It has increased the frequency of the problem now and it is practically impossible to use Power BI. How to stop that? Sometimes restarting the computer solves the problem, but only temporarily not always.

All windows updates are installed, the computer has 32GB of memory (with no relevant program open in addition to Power BI), 3.70Ghz CPU, Windows 10 64bit with Power BI in the latest version (December 2018) installed on the 64bit also and with 64 bit office and all updated drivers.

 

Example of dialog/window that is "cut in half":

I had this problem too and changed my Windows text size slider under Accessibility settings to 0% (default) and now I see the entire dialogue boxes.  
change font size windows10 - Search (bing.com)

Try going into Power BI desktop properties by right clicking on the Power BI desktop icon.

 

Then go into the Compatibility tab > Change high DPI settings > select 'Override high DPI sclaing behaviour' towards the bottom and then select System (Enhanced).

 

I went this route because Power BI looked blurry and nothing in the windows settings would help.

 

Hope you all get it sorted

I'm having the same issue on the Feb 2020 update. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and changing scaling options.

 

Anyone find a solution?

Microsoft, please, some answer! Already posted as a bug and no answer there too. It's killing the usage of Power Query.

I also have it from time to time.
Looks like a bug of the Power BI Tool.

 

In my case, cannot see the buttons, which makes the scenario more challenging.
