I guess no one cares about this.

I just tried to sign in at https://bt.ritlabs.com/login_page.php but my password didn't work and the 'forgot password' button doesn't send the link it promises.  It does, however, tell me if I enter the wrong email address (I tried a couple of my other addresses to check), so I'm reasonably sure I entered the correct one. Then I tried to create a new account in case the old accounts had been purged (I haven't signed in for quite some time). Unfortunately, I've been waiting over 20 minutes and no message has arrived with my sign-in link.  I used a gmail address because they are usually extremely reliable and no message has appeared in my inbox or spam folder.

So I think there's a bug in the bug tracker, too. Sigh.

I've been a customer (and buying all the updates) for over twenty years. It is so nice for my bug reports to be so totally ignored.

Previously it used the same size as everything else.  I can see where I can change the FONT and I was able to change the size from 9 to 8 for the account tree and message list, however I cannot find the setting for the menu. Also, TheBat! is not CORRECTLY applying the font size, because an 8pt font should be smaller than what TheBat! is presenting:

SPV> I suspect these may be related to a failed attempt at HighDPI awareness in the code that is using the DPI setting from my (HighDPI) primary screen (which also has a 125% scaling factor) for the (Low DPI) secondary scree (with a 100% scaling factor) where I keep TheBat!.  Remember, HighDPI awareness and compensation is only necessary on multi-screen systems with different DPI settings for the various screens — so don't do it unless you also have very accurate multi-monitor detection and information collecting functions.
