Ouch that indeed does not look good. I feel like this is a Qt bug.
Unless our .ui files are not well-defined, Qt is responsible for the
dialog elements not running into each other.
Dear Scott, now that you're the release manager: how likely is it that
the layout of the widgets in Document>Settings and Tools>Preferences
will be fixed for v2.2, some of the sheets look really bad... so crumpled.
This is mostly with the widgets that are grouped within
class="QGroupBox",they go too high into the title.
The other widgets are also packed very tightly in these settings
dialogs, regardles of the screen resolution (it just becomes more
obvious on HiDPI). This should be a cosmetic change, I tried it in Qt
designer and things looked better, but I feel it needs a retouch from
someone who's more experienced.
I can help along the way, even change these things with some guidance.
But can it happen for 2.2?
One other thing:
I think that "Huge-sized" icons should be 40, or even 42 px in size
(instead of just 32, that feels like 16 or less on normal dpi displays).
Is there a way of knowing that the screen is HiDPI? Could a factor of 2
be introduced with the old icon sizes so that the user doesn't need to
intervene. (also, we should consider what happens when one switches from
a HiDPI to a normal screen using these huge icons)
This is in frontends/qt4/GuiView.cpp
