Hello,
Out of curiosity:
Are there any plans to make the LCL (and by extension the IDE itself)
High-DPI aware?
Working on a Macbook Pro with retina screen (running kubuntu) is OK if you
only need to edit code, but
as soon as you need to use buttons (any toolbutton or even component
palette button), it becomes very difficult. The editor toolbar is next to
useless on high DPI.

I do write High-DPI aware LCL application with Lazarus without problems.
The IDE itself should at some point in the future support it as well (IMO by
default, without any extension). But I don't know if there are some plans
about it.
I haven't bought a 4K display because of High-DPI problems in Delphi and
Lazarus IDEs.
Would you mind elaborating on this ?
I wrote an app which is DPI aware (as per the instructions on the Lazarus wiki).
It worked on Linux, Windows 7. Then someone ran it on Windows 8 and 10,
and those versions of Windows did something which completely messed up
the DPI awareness. I believe it has something to do with the manifest,
but I didn't have time to investigate it yet :(
Michael.
