AFAIK there is no limit. What is your screen resolution?Do you use sparta or 
anchordocking?

Ondrej is working on scaling.

Both are good ideas. Please create feature requests.

Can I chip in with one thing here please, with an apology in advance if it's already been fixed.

I use a large screen cast off by a colleague who got a bigger one (which he needs due to eyesight issues) and find that everything scales nicely if the (Debian Linux, KDE) fonts DPI is increased from 96 to 120.

The one thing that doesn't scale is the Lazarus IDE status bar, where the display of cursor position gets truncated as soon as a unit is >1000 lines. Could somebody get this to track the overall form width- I'd submit a patch myself if I had time.
