[TC 8.0b3 x64] Strings are cut in dialog windows

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

[TC 8.0b3 x64] Strings are cut in dialog windows

Post by *Nickless »

When dialog box font size is set more than default size (10 points for example),
strings are cut from the bottom in "copy" and "delete" dialog windows.
Sometimes the bottom string is almost not visible (depends on font type and size set, string lenght, etc).
This bug is present only when the font size in Windows is set to more than 100% (I set 125%).

This isn't a bug, the dialog boxes are just not scaled with the fonts. To scale all dialogs (except for the main window), please add
OverrideDPI=120
or some other value to wincmd.ini. Please note that the fonts will be scaled with the dialogs too!

Tried to add various values for OverrideDPI.
OverrideDPI=120, 125 changes nothing.
OverrideDPI=150 works, but works wrong.
This doesn't increase "copy"/"delete" dialog box size, but font size in dialog box
increases even more and becomes invisible, because most part of the string is cut.

That's why I wrote:

So just stay with an 8 point font, and use OverrideDPI=150.
