The screenshot shows v24.8 in front of master. This is not acceptable for small screens.

Confirmed.

We've gone from Options panel at ~795px to about ~915px

Options panel default is too wide now.

tdf#134791 Let options dialog determine its own size based on tab pages
Comment 3 V Stuart Foote 2024-12-17 13:40:03 UTC
We have to fit within our 800px x 1280px width [1].  

Hmm, at just ~915px width (en-US locale) would say we're not *too* wide at this point--still lots of room to 1280px.

So, => NAB?

About the height I see c60ca3582598c7b9b9b33c288edbd76207f5b14d
tdf#134791 Clamp options dialog height to 80% of screen size

so I guess we can close this.
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2025-03-06 12:06:27 UTC
The options dialog is still about 1240 x 820 pixel large on my system. And most tabs have a large amount of white space. Back to unconfirmed.

How is this possible, when on my system it is about 969 x 762? Can it be due to using a bigger font size on your system?

There we have it. If I change to the font settings you use, I get the bigger result. But what can be the solution? You could keep increasing the font size to 72 pt after all...

Find the tab that takes too much space and resize/rearrange properly. Most tabs are not using all the available space.
