However, looking at the code in the Qt development environment this
clipping effect can be seen. These buttons all have a minimum width of
32 and the default font size is 12. Otherwise the size policy for
these buttons is the same as for the Tx 1-6 buttons.
With a button width of 32 the max font size for no clipping is 9. With
font size of 12 the minimum button width is ~48.
You can change the font size in Settings | General | Font. Reducing it
will help, but it will affect the entire window and I suspect you may
have tried that already and found it unacceptable.
It might also be worthwhile checking that the font you have selected
actually exists on your machine and is not being substituted, which
can cause weird effects.
You could just run the app with a larger width. At some point the
buttons will expand.
As a last resort, there is an easy code fix for this. Just go into the
mainWindow.ui and change houndButton | minimumSize | Width. Setting
it to 0 (on all six buttons) allows the application to scale the
button width in accordance with the combined sizing policies. However
changing just the houndButton from 32 to 48 is sufficient and doesn't
introduce any other sizing effects. Recalculate the md5 checksum.
Recompile and voila.

This incorrect button sizing is being applied to the mode selection
buttonsonly, no other buttons.
Font type and size cannot be the cause. No other UI elements are affected.
Several previous tests have shown it is only occurring on high DPI
monitors, 4K monitors in my case, running Win10 & Win11.
IMO, the code to calculate button size based on text font metrics is not
correctly calculating the width for high dpi situations.
My C++ skills are 30 years out-of-date so am unable to offer any advice
as to the cause.
