CQRLOG is amazing and still my favorite! Thank you Saku and friends.

Running ver 2.6.0_(119)_Gtk2 Date:2023-10-03 on Arch Linux. All very good.

CQRLOG scales without problem on all 100% display resolutions, but now display settings commonly include "User Interface Scaling" 100% (all good), but 200% and 300% corrupt text layout. Also, "fractional scaling" does not display correctly.

As these display options become more commonly the default, maybe CQRLOG should work with modern display scaling?

(Yes, I tried the obvious: choose another font. Different font sizes improve layout but seem not to be the cure.)

Hi John!

This is (FreePascal) Lazarus property.
Without proper test bench it is impossible to make any fixes for this.

I am still running with old hardware. Works perfectly with Linux and fits into a retiree's budget.
So there is no way to see scaling problems here.

Sorry!

Yes. CQRLOG runs perfectly here with Linux: LMDE7, Mint, Endeavour...
But, :(

I became interested in Linux CachyOS with BORE scheduling, and had to try CQRLOG. Once again, it works perfectly though doesn't much like the infamous display scaling with Cinnamon or Plasma.

FWIW, CQRLOG gives so much useful information that I use it with 3 monitors: ! HDMI, and 2 more with a USB3-c to HDMI adapter. All 3 screens work perfectly!

Thank you for all the fine work, 73, John.
