Several screens don't fit my computer screen. The edit form extends below the bottom which I resize it to fit. The dissect form extends beyond the bottom of the screen as well. I can resize them, but it is an inconvenience. I edited edit in config/qtide.cfg ide to get it to fit. But that has to be done for each new release.
My screen is 1366 by 768. But new screen sizes keep coming out all the time. I just saw a quad screen at Best Buy Friday. Not cheap, but soon to be more. Perhaps a check to make sure the default form sizes in Edit/Qt ide don't exceed the screen sizes defined in config/qtide.cfg .
