OK. I still have Win7 booted (I'm testing Ubuntu Natty installs in VMWare & VirtualBox on it) & think I may have figured out how to get you something that _might_ help. Go back to the Display setting & instead of setting to 125%, click the item on the left menu 'Set custom text size (DPI)'. Scale that to 110% (hold the left mouse key down & slide the scale to adjust) & check 'Use Windows XP style DPI scaling', and click OK & then 'Apply'. You'll need to log out/in for the setting to take effect. Give that a try. If not you can experiment with other percentages. I found that I could see the 'Search all sheets' at 120% as well.
