Oh my... Shame on me. Yes, it works, Thank you. 2 of 3 problems solved.
But I noticed something that apparently is a bug. To reproduce:
- Set Free Area to 10. Click OK, click Apply. Font is large, as expected.
:loop
- Set Free Area to 6. Click OK, click Apply.
- Watch carefully dropdown list font size.
- endloop
See what happens? While setting font size 6 (or 7 or 8) few times, nothing should change, but actually dropdown list font shrinks for each iteration.
This may be the reason why people report microscopic font size sometimes.

I agree. As a user I was sometimes lost when I started using MC and tried to change something. Still I am from time to time.
--- Quote ---But the scaling things are going to be tweaked a bit more. However some things that works in 150% scaling looks bad in 225% scaling. so it is not easy to get right.
--- End quote ---
That's why I'm asking for possibility to turn off automatic gear box and switch to manual.

No the dropdrown list in v10 is new. I have not seen it shrink. might be a DPI issue. But there are other font issue that is looses the font and default to system default sometimes after hibernation.

The Font Size in the Dropdown-List is to big and need Antialiasing.
If you use 150% Scale, is this just a waste of space (resolution).

It has AA by default, but something with screenres might have changed so it fallbacked to default system font. try restart MC or reopen tab

--- Quote from: MrPapaya on November 29, 2020, 02:55:52 ---Odd fonts, indeed. Sometimes the fonts in my tabs change to a tiny size, as well.
--- End quote ---
Have not seen any case where they are changed.
Nothing is changed around the tabs.
Have somethings changed in Windows when it happens. Have screen res / DPI changed in Windows will app was running ? or something similar ?

Sorry. I misspoke. It is the "Device Dropdown list" that I am referring to.
The font shrinks in size sometimes when making changes using the "Quick Look N Feel Setup".
Probably an issue with Windows 10 itself. Not really a problem, just thought it was odd.
It goes back to normal after quitting & restarting.
