Description Tom 2023-05-14 11:58:10 UTC
Kdevelop version 5.11.230401 on Kubuntu 22.04.

When opening the "Configure KDevelop" Dialogue via Settings menu, the dialogue window opens as large as the lower parts are out off the screen, so unfortunately, the buttons "OK", "Apply" and "Cancel" are out of reach.
As a workaround left-click on the title bar and choosing "more action"->"move" andmoving the window to the top make the buttons visible, however now the upper part of the window is invisible.
I assume making the dialogue scrollable would solve this issue.

The Configure KDevelop dialog's size is 861x830 pixels on my system. What's your display resolution? 800x600? Such a low resolution appears old. Is it still common?
Comment 2 Tom 2023-05-15 07:52:21 UTC
Hi, Igor,

my screen resolution is 1920x1080.

The global scale is 100% , according to Display Configuration of System
Settings.
The general Font is set to Noto Sans 14pt, AntiAliasing enabled and
Force Font DPI = 130.

Hope, this Information will help you.

Kind Regards

Tom

Compare Configure KDevelop and Configure Kate

Attached a comparison screenshot: the Configure Kate dialog has a vertical scrollbar, while Configure KDevelop doesn't. Someone would have to transfer Kate's approach to KDevelop in order to limit the dialog height when system fonts are much larger than default.
