Illustrator uses UI scaling for menus from main display in dual display setup
Windows 10, version 1803
Illustrator CC (22.1)
I have a dual display setup. Display 1 is 109ppi (27", 2560x1440) set to 100% UI scale in Windows settings. Display 2 is 282ppi (15.6", 3840x2160) set to 225% UI scale in Windows settings.
Illustrator is set to 'scale to higher supported scale factor'
If Illustrator is placed on display 2, with display 1 set as the 'main' or primary display in windows settings, Most UI items within Illustrator display as expected but menus and some other items become unreadable, because Illustrator appears to take its UI scaling setting from the display set as the main or primary display.
If I set display 2 as the 'main' or primary display within Windows settings, and Illustrator is placed on display 2, menus render as expected.
This behaviour does not happen with Photoshop.

I have same issue with displaying the UI in Illustrator CC way smaller on a 27" screen. I use a 15,6" display laptop and I think Illustrator is taking that resolution for all UI from the laptop, which looks almost unusable small on the big screen. Any solutions? Thanks
