    From Slack chat, using 1536x960 resolution on 1792x??? native screen. Fonts are the default size. No other known scaling.

    I scaled my screen down to 1600x900 and it appears that a width of 1600 is just about the smallest that dialog currently supports as there's no truncation but you also can't resize the dialog downward horizontally:

    I can probably allow the Log Levels Preset combo-box to shrink a bit as it's wider than the largest entry. That might get things so that it fits on a 1536 px wide screen. To allow any smaller will likely require a layout change, minimally some type of scrollbar or overflow indicator.

    Okay, by computing the required width of the log level preset combo-box, it gets smaller. Interestingly it's still quite a bit wider on Mac than Windows:

    Windows (1369 px wide) Issue_1958_Win.png

    The Mac width is still more than your monitor resolution, but let's see how it looks. The last remaining option before getting into layout changes would be to show only the preset label and not its category in the combo-box but still show the full string when it's activated.

    I'll include this change in the next build and get feedback from you on whether that additional change is needed. The reality is that at some point someone is going to try to use this dialog on a 1280 or 1366 px wide screen and it's still going to be an issue.

    Improved in 2.1.8.8, but to be candid, only a bit. Let's see how it looks and, if this is still an issue for folks I may have to look at layout tweaks to accommodate the width.
