Additional Information
Visual differences between ArcMap display and the display in ArcGIS Pro are to be expected. ArcGIS Pro uses a high-performance drawing engine to ensure maps and scenes are drawn quickly with smooth symbols and text. Thus, this drawing engine is different from the drawing engine used in ArcMap. There are important differences in the appearance of a map drawn in ArcGIS Pro when imported. Refer to the following link, Visual differences in imported map documents https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/projects/drawing-behavior-in-arcgis-pro.htm for more information. For layout specific elements such as scale bars and grids, the algorithms, specifically fitting strategies are used to place text labels using ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro are sufficiently different when working with text of a large size relative to the page area devoted to the element. Unfortunately, this may require some manual editing and adjustment of the elements in question after importing the MXD into ArcGIS Pro.Steps to Reproduce
