IntelliJ plugin: Please follow IntelliJ font size / DPI

[andreasb...@gmail.com]

Hi,

it would be great of the SonarLint plugin would follow the DPI / font size settings of IntelliJ. Currently, when using a high DPI monitor, the explanations of the Sonar rules are very difficult to read since they are rendered very small.

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Just to be sure, are you referring to the text in the "Rule" tab in the SonarLint tool window?

Are you using SonarLint in your IDE?

Hello Duarte,

thanks for your quick response. Yes, I think we are both referring to the same window. I made a screenshot to illustrate the problem:

As you can see, most font sizes are pretty large (I need that because my eyesight is not the best). IntelliJ gets the information from Windows (where I set the font scaling factor to 150% of the regular size). In general, the SonarLint plugin follows this - you can see that the list of code issues (bottom left) looks fine. However, the explanation of the rule (bottom right) has a very small font in comparison. It would be great if SonarLint would use the same scaling factor there.

Kind regards,

Andreas

Just want to bump this issue. I'm running Intellij IDEA on a beautiful 4K monitor, with scaling at 250% the font in the Sonarlint Rule window is barely readable!

All the best,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Can you please include a screenshot? So that we get an idea of how bad it is.

Thanks,

Hi!

I now went to get a screenshot, and whaddayaknow, the problem's gone! Maybe fixed in the last update? Or, maybe as intermittent as all the other scaling issues I've seen since I started working on this setup, where I have an external HD monitor extending my laptops 4k one... :)

However, I'd write this one off as no repro. Attaching screenshot nonetheless, so you can see how bad it *isn't*.. Text on the right, under Rule, was previously nano-scale when running on the 4k monitor. Now it's not. :)

All the best,

Thomas Qvidahl

Hi Thomas,

Yes, we did try to fix the problem in the latest bug fix release: https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SLI-281.

Thanks for confirming that it was fixed in your 4k monitor!
