No dropdown arrow to select target branch when merging in visual studio 2019

396 Views Asked by At

In visual studio, I'm working in a branch and want to merge downward into my branch. However when I try to merge down, where it asks for source and target branch, there is no dropdown arrow to select a different target branch.

I've tried resizing the window, making it full screen, restarting my PC, making sure Visual Studio 2019 is up to date, pretty much everything I can think of. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

The image tag doesn't seem to be working, but here is a URL to a screenshot of the issue: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tbVAD.jpg

Based on my test, I couldn't reproduce this issue on my machine.

It could work as expected in Visual Studio (version: 16.4.0 , 16.7.5, 16.7.6)

Here is the expected Tool screenshot:

From your screenshot, not only the drop-down arrow, it doesn’t seem to show the Browse option.

As far as I know, the way the machine’s screen is displayed may cause this issue.

You could navigate to Windows Settings -> System -> Display -> Scale and layout and change the settings.

Here is my screen setting, you could refer to it:

You can reduce the enlarged scale to check if it works.
