Dev-C++: Large-font screen problem

    Problem report: with Dev-C++ 4.9.3.0, when I use large font mode in Windows screen properties
    setting(font size 120 instead of 96), some dialogs(e.g the new project dialog) are incorrectly cropped, zooming cannot help.

    This is a common problem with GUI's made with
    grid layout, I suggest that GUI authors should
    test the GUI in both normal font size screen and
    large font size screen.

      Hi,

      I have corrected this bug recently, you can get the latest build on the CVS in the V5 directory

      Greetings,

      Someone reported the problem with Windows large fonts previously and Colin Laplace
      answered that the problem was already fixed.

      Version 4.9.4.1 still has the problem with the "Customize Help Menu" dialog. All the other
      dialogs seem to be fixed.

      The original bug report is reproduced below:

        Half a year after the original message was posted the
        problem is still there: in the
        Customize Menu Help dialog box of DevC++ 4.9.6
        there's no chance to see OK/Cancel buttons
        unless you switch Windows to small-fonts.

        ZK

      True. But i believe that since the glasses were invented, no one uses large fonts anymore...

      Anyway it would be good to correct this small bug...
