  To avoid most of the resolution problems of Sikuli, I chnage within my script the user windows desktop resolution (100% - 125% - 150% and 175%) and i put it by default at 125%. The thing is that Sikuli is only looking in the old resolution (for example, if i go from 150% to 125%, a large part of the bottom and right side of the screen won't be detected, so if I need to find() something here, it will never be able to). I don't know if it is fixable but i might just post it here.
  I am using version 2.0.5 under windows 10 64 bits.
  Tried it on Java 8 and Java 17, both have the same problem.
  If you want to reproduce the bug, just make a script which changes windows resolution, then try to find something like the Wi-Fi logo on the bottom rigt part of the screen. You can also open SikuliIDE while being at 150% or 175%, then switch back to 125% and take a screenshot with the IDE tool made for it, you will se the part of the screen that is ignored.
  I know that relaunching SikuliIDE fixes it, but it is in the case that it is needed to switch it inside the script, for portability between different persons laptops.

Title:
  Screen size wrong when changing monitor scaling programatically ---
  workaround 2.0.6-SNAPSHOT

Status in SikuliX:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  ------------- workaround (needs 2.0.6-SNAPSHOT)
  after changing the monitor setup programmatically (e.g. scaling factor), you have to use:
  Screen.resetMonitors()
  to let SikuliX reevaluate the monitor setup.

  This works when running scripts from command line or in the IDE
  and in Java programs.

  --- Be aware for scripts: 
  undotted Region methods (targeting the global SCREEN) can no longer be used after a resetMonitors().

  So instead of
  find(someImage)

  you have to use
  scr.find(someImage)

  having done scr = Screen(0) before once after each
  Screen.resetMonitors()

  --- Be aware: The IDE GUI might look odd, because the changed monitor
  parameters do not seem to be recognised yet everywhere (a bug ;-).

  Either reset the monitors programatically to what they where at start
  of the script before ending the script or restart the IDE.
