Yes. And it has proven insanely hard to find a way that works for the myriad of 
screen sizes, resolutions, and densities. I have spent countless hours on 
trying to optimize the sizes of icons, fonts, etc, for mobile. But for every 
version that I try, there are a few devices where this looks horrible.
I know, that's not helpful to address your problem, but it's a statement of why 
we are where we are...

Yes, on some devices, not on others :-(

That's an interesting question - I never use that feature (I haven't done a 
multi gas dive in years and haven't planned a dive in even longer than that). 
Could you send the dive data for the dive that you show here so I can play with 
it? Just export that single dive to XML.

Ideally - would you allow me to add this as a test dive to the Subsurface 
sources? So that all developers can take a look at this?

Thanks
