5 years ago Ouch, that's pretty bad! It looks like Qt is allowing the text to be resized by the system scale factor but not giving it room in the UI. I didn't use any fixed coordinates for UI elements or anything, so I don't think that is the problem. The Qt docs seem to have some solutions here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html. I can't really test this myself as I don't have anything particularly high DPI, so would you like to look into the solutions on the doc page?

On hidpi displays, the app clips a few UI elements and fails to properly lay out others. I've pasted screenshots below detailing some of the problems I found.
Normally Qt should handle this but it looks like it isn't (or maybe I have a few wires crossed about the extent Qt is involved- I ran into similar issues on other Qt apps)
This is on a Surface Pro 4, which has a ~12" ~4k display at 200% UI scaling.
There is a workaround for this, but it's rather onerous for an end user: you need to override the scaling by right-clicking on the app in the taskbar, then right clicking the executable in the menu that pops up, "Properties" > "Compatibility" > "Change high DPI settings" > "Override application scaling" and set it to "System" or "System (enhanced)".
Clipping of UI elements:
Alerts dialog is too small, editors are not visible until you expand them:
Propellant editor is too cramped to use by default:
(Separately I can't get to the resize grip on this window- not sure if this is related).
