Below is original post. It turns out that the zoom setting of the embedded IE mode page is the Edge tab zoom factor times the windows scale factor. Thus on a machine with windows scale at 125%, the results I originally described below occur. If the windows scale factor is 150% then with Edge set to zoom of 100%, an embedded IE mode page is set to 150%.
So the question becomes: how to prevent the windows scale factor affecting the IE mode page zoom factor... We want the Edge and IE mode page to have the *same* zoom factor.
An Edge tab with zoom = 100% containing an IE mode page will set the zoom for the IE mode page to 125%. Changing the Edge tab zoom to 80% results in an IE mode page zoom of 100%
Why are these not equal? This causes issues in an application that depends upon 100% zoom for proper rendering...and runs in IE mode.
Thanks.

@Deleted Thanks for that reply....it gives me some good food for thought. I am running on a 4k monitor... Will investigate.

@Deleted In this app it happens to be showing a bottom status bar that includes the zoom level. You certainly aren't going to find out by using the F12 debugger :)

@Deleted sorry, not an app, just a view setting:

When I go in IE mode, I dont' see that option to show the status bar, I dont' see a tab option in IE mode either except the edge one and I only can get the right click ui.
I am thinking it is still zoomed out since it is still using IE app.
Maybe changing the zoom level in IE app then go in IE mode and that helps?
I do see it is zoomed in a bit.
Thanks,
Should send feedback about this and so will I

@Deleted Can't find any way to show the status bar manually in IE mode. I think this was shown due to how the page is being displayed by the webapp, and also what emulation mode is being used. I don't know all the details about this webapp as I'm just beginning to work with it.
