Hello

Using MLO on Windows 10, on my (4K) monitor I am only seeing the first 7 characters of each Tab (i.e. "work area") name. 

Is there anywhere where I can change the size of this text?

I haven't found a way to change the size of this text, to show more characters, you must close a few tabs (at my resolution, I see 7 characters only if I have opened more than about 15 tabs).

On my 4K screen (3840 x 2160 px), sadly I'm only getting 7 characters with just one then tab open.   :^(

I'm sure I could get a few more if I lowered the Scaling in Windows (v10 x64). It is currently set to 200%.
Whereas on my laptop where scaling is set to 125%, I am seeing a full 17 characters(!).

The trouble is I don't want to lower my scaling because I need it at 200% for other applications.

That’s a great question.  If the answer is you can’t, I’d vote for adding it as a feature.

I concur we need it as a feature. I'm not able to reproduce the issue - my tabs show a lot of characters. Screenshot?

To me personally, I would call it a "moderate" annoyance.

I am seeing about 8 or 9 characters in the titles of my tabs, depending on which characters are being used.
e.g. See "1." below

The central point is that MLO's interface hasn't been designed to work well with higher resolution screens.
It's nothing like as bad as many other applications but notice how wrapping starts to happen, with text getting cut off in certain places 
e.e. See "3." and "4." below

Also, although personally, I quite like having the column titles being extremely small in size (see "2." below), you do have to admit that it's at best inconsistent with the Tab titles being quite so large.






To recap, I have a 4K screen running Win10 x64 with Windows scaling at "200%".

I am no UI expert but it seems to me that the entire way that text is sized in MLO needs to be updated to work better with high res screens.
