It looks like the sort dialog box width is based on the total width of my dual screen setup, which is huge. See attached screenshot.

This has been happening on all stable versions I have tried since roughly 4.2 and also rc 4.4.0.2

OK I now found out that the sort dialog does not follow the dual screen width but the max length of the header row texts, see second sort dialog screenshot.

Also note that the Ascending/Descending option is pushed out of sight and can not be used anymore.

Also note that the dialog uses a font that can not render the locale (thai) correctly. But that is a separate issue I guess.

I could not confirm this issue exists in 25.8. The Sort window opens in its normal size regardless of the length of the header row texts.

It is not clear, if this was ever reproduced by others. This was reported ten years ago and now it can not be reproduced by another user with a dual screen setup on Windows (as the original), so let's set to needinfo while we wait for new testing results from Kees.
