When constraining axes the r,g or b guide is much larger than usual.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Constrain an axis while translating

In #80974#1019744, @Russ1642 wrote:
This has to do with the Preferences - Interface - Line Width settings. If it's set to Thick the bug appears.

If this appears "too big" only when the preference is set.
Maybe a duplicate of [#80974 :Axes overlay when moving an object has become very large (Thick Line Width preference)]

@slowboy does changing Preferences - Interface - Line Width settings to Thin solve the issue?

This bug only appears for me when the Thick setting is used. Thin and Auto do not show the bug. Also note that when the bug appears the axis thickness is scaled by zooming. You can zoom in and have the axis line cover your entire view for example. This makes doing simple operations like moving an object next to impossible.

I have mine set to Auto, but yes, when it's set to thin, it's back to normal.

I'm only getting the bug with Thick.

Ok thanks for the info.
Look like a duplicate of #80974 except that it's also showing with "Auto" Line Width Preference for @slowboy.

With a little trial and error I've found that the bug will appear with a setting of Auto and a Resolution Scale >= 1.19

I'm using a 3840x2160 monitor and Windows is set to scale its UI 150%. Hope that helps.
