License dialogue

I am using a 4k monitor on Windows 7. I have set the custom text size to 166% (= 160 dpi).

Texts in the IDE dialogues do not fit into the dialogue windows. An example is provided in the appendix.

My expectation is that both the size of fonts and the sizes of dialogues should exibit 166% size increase measured in number of pixels compared to a setting with a custom text size of 100% (= 96 dpi).

Please, adjust the layout algorithm of the IDE to be completely based on length (measured in cm, inch, or pt) and not on pixels.
