Location controls in dialog 'Find Files'

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

On tab "General":
1) Controls overlap: TMyComboBox with text "D:\tc" and TCheckBox with text "Onl&y search in selected directories/files";
2) It does not fit the text: TCheckBox with text 'Everything';
3) Controls overlap: TMyComboBox with text "all (unlimited depth)" and separating line;
4) Controls overlap: TMyComboBox with find text and TCheckBox with text "ANSI &charset (Windows)".

On tab "Advanced":
1) Controls overlap: TMyComboBox with same plugin fields and TTabPage.

This is not how it looks here with Total Commander 9.0b7, Windows 7 SP1 x64. What is your font setting for Dialog box font and what is you DPI setting?

Settings for these screenshots:
Dialog box scaling - disable
File list font - Segoe UI,9,b,204
Main window font - Segoe UI,9,b,204
Dialog box font - Segoe UI Semibold,9,b,204

In a clean installation TC9.0b7 default "Dialog box font" "Microsoft Sans Serif, 8". If it is increased by one point, then begin these problems.
Also controls TCheckBox "Whole words only" and "ANSI charset (Windows)" are located at different heights, ie not aligned horizontally. There is a shift of 1 pixel. You can check by using Microsoft Spy ++.

Also, a problem arises with the text and copy dialog in the background. For example, the file name with an underscore .
If there is an opportunity to implement the correct display of dialogs with the font size > 8 (optimally 9, as for the "File list font" and "Main window font").

I agree that it is not unrealistic to expect it to work at font size 9, when 8 is the default, but the question is - up til which font size should it be expected to work? - 10 - 11 - maybe even 12?

Sorry, the dialog boxes are not scaled with fonts - I tried this once, but it looks horrible with extra-wide and extra small fonts. Please just set a higher DPI value and use a smaller font.
