I have reported this here: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=434561#p434561 but since it might be unrelated to that topic I am making a separate bug report here:
I can reproduce this under Windows 7 and 8.1 but not under Windows 10 and only in 64bit TC 11.00b7.
1. Open the Folder Tabs list.
2. Press any letter key to open the Search dialog.
3. Press Escape twice.
After this, when trying to open any dialog in TC (F7, Alt+F7, F5, Alt+F5 etc), it only opens up a dialog that is a few pixels wide and high. https://tcmd.madsenworld.dk/deminischeddialog.png
I either have to restart TC or I can open the Directory History list and open it's Search dialog, and close both again, to make dialogs appear normal again.

Thanks for the separate report. I don't get this on Windows 11, will have to test on 7 and 8.1.

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.00b8history.txt wrote:19.06.23 Fixed: Windows 7: Opening quick search in list of open tabs would break dialog scale factor, resulting in very small dialog boxes (64)
