Q: iTunes 12.5.1.21: mouse offset
I installed 12.5.1.21 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit SP1 and now my mouse clicks are off by like a couple of centimeters.
By off I mean that when I position my mouse cursor over a song title is the song below, or two song belong that gets highlighted. So in order to select the song that I want I have to position the mouse cursor like 4 centimeter up and 4 cm to the left before clicking.
I'm using a multiple monitor setup with NVIDIA Quadro K1000M (Driver version 368.39) .
Something has change in the way 12.5.1 handles the mouse input (since 12.4.2 didn't have this issue). Does anybody know a fix for this?

This is caused by DPI font scaling in Windows 7.
In Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Smaller 100% (instead of Medium 125% or Larger 150%).
In my case 125% was the default and that causes iTunes to misplace the cursor.
After changing the font scaling to 100% you need to log off and log on again to see the effect.
The fonts in iTunes no longer look blurry and the mouse location is properly tracked inside iTunes.
