Dialogs / fonts cut off with HighDPI scaling

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Dialogs / fonts cut off with HighDPI scaling

Post by *immi »

I use Segue Regular 10 points system wide on a 175% scaling on my 27" 4K monitor. In this setup the fields to display text is not high enough:

Unfortunately the background transfer manager and background copy dialogs cannot currently be scaled this way. They are Windows dialogs, not Delphi forms.

But you have plans to redesign and to reimplement these dialogs via Delhi forms of course?
Because in a current view they are ugly and non functional:
they are too squeezed = 2 mains elements: PATH of currently processing file and % of processing - are pressed too close to other elements and the length of these main elements is sometimes not enough to fit in them the entire row with corresponding data.
They should be easily scalable.

No, they can't because they are owned by background threads, and Delphi forms are NOT thread-safe. I plan to resize them the hard way, but it's a lot of work and I haven't had the time yet to do it, sorry.
