When aligning things on the block diagram (references, controls, indicators, local variables) - I usually organize them so that all my wires run directly into the bundle by name cluster.
Similar to this example
But lately when I open the block diagram, I notice everything has been shifted (see example below). I imagine this is to prevent slight overlaps of the references, controls ...
This appears to be a recent thing. I am not fond of the look and am wondering if it is a Block Diagram Option that I can turn off. Currently using LabVIEW 2018, SP1. I am not sure when this is happening or why. If I realign things to look like the above example, then close the Panel and re-open it, I don't see any changes. Even if I close LabVIEW completely. So I am thinking it has done this once to all my panels (100's of panels and 1000's of vi's). If it is an option that I turned on at some point or another developer has turned on, I would like to know what option so I can turn it off. Or at least prevent it from happening again.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior. It is basically a "vertical compress" applied to the references, controls, indicators, then shifting up to center them around the bundle.

Windows 10.
LabVIEW 2018 SP1.

This points to a systems font getting updated/changed. In some recent version (2023?), there was an effort to try to standardize the size of the Bundle By Name along with others.

Thank you.
I believe I may have done it to myself then. I have played around with fonts to try and standardize a size and type - probably some time in the last 6 to 8 months. Then had a couple of months of mostly documentation work. And now - last 3 - 4 months as I jump back into implementation I am starting to see all the damage.
I will leave it as is for now. Hoping to transition to LabVIEW 2023 at some point. After that I will do some manual clean ups to panels that require changes.
Thanks again
