Raspberry Pi with "official" Touchscreen

Hi
I have CQRLog (V2.3.0) running in two different environmernts/systems
System 1 PC with Ubuntu 19.04 and no issues. I use this to compare with system below.

System2 Raspberry Pi 3 under Raspian 9. OK on a monitor but not on a small touchscreen.

Now when I use the Raspberry Pi/CQRLog with my HDMI 1900 x 1200 monitor I have no serious issues as the display is virtually the same as with system 1.
I am in the process of building a portable RPi based system logger using CQRLog and the Raspberry Pi 800 x 480 touchscreen.
With the touch screen the main window does not display correctly.
The New QSO window is partly obscured by the main panel above. This means that the top 2 rows of the New QSO screen are hidden and data entry is impossible. i.e. the most important box callsign is hidden.
Can the position of the bar separating the two areas cannot be moved? I have tried dragging it but appears to be fixed.

Can the ratio of "top" to "bottom" area be altered in the .ini file?
By accident I came across a window Preferences -> Panel but I can not find any references to this in the Help file. Its not accessed from the main preferences window.
How do I access this window?

Is anybody else using CQRLog on a small portable display?

Hi Dave!

I have small laptop Compaq Mini with 1024x600 display.
You are right there is a problem with cqrlog. Or problems, in several screens. I got a report some weeks ago from local ham that has similar PC. He said he can not set preferences as part of window is cut off.
I tested and noticed the same. Also NewQSO and QSO list can be too big.

I have made an accepted pull request that adds autoScrollBars to those three if that is needed. It seems to help at least for my Mini laptop.
If you can compile source from Petr's GitHub you could try it also with Rasbian.

Unfortunately one of my latest pull requests that were accepted at same go included a bug that prevents preferences to open. I have made a pull request to fix this, but it is not yet accepted.
After that is done (pull request #199) you could try to compile the source if you can.

Pull request #199 is now merged at https://github.com/ok2cqr/cqrlog
So if you are able to compile latest source you can do it now and tell if it is any better for small touchscreen.
