You can also adjust these settings in the ~/.config/QCAD/QCAD3.ini file directly by adding these lines:
[ ... ]
This might not solve the entire problem but hopefully should give you something you can work with.

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Andrew, thanks for the suggestion. It is complicated: I was not able to access the menu for Application Preferences because it is either too small to click on, or too large to find. (see below) I tried this edit in the qcad script (QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1) and things seem as bad or worse. I ha...

After further examination, I confirm that the issue is a result of the faulty EDID reported by my main monitor. Apparently QT calculates the dpi for every screen and uses the highest dpi to calculate the scaling for widgets. Maybe this is only true on HDMI, or maybe it is a new feature in QT. I have...

I have discovered the reason for this problem. The monitor appears to be issuing an incorrect EDID so that xrandr reports: HDMI-2 connected 1920x1200+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 160mm x 90mm It should be 552mm x 345mm. I am trying to find the workaround for this. It looks compl...

I have just set up a new mini-pc with debian 11. Installed qcad 3.27.9-pro. The monitors are connected by hdmi. I am unsure whether this is a problem with the hardware or with qcad or its dependencies. The widgets are all rendered giant size, about 250% I guess. The toolbars run off the screen and t...

The strangest thing in over ten years of qcad quirks. Using QCad 3.19.2.0 (3.19.2) under Arch Linux. It was working normally three days ago. I have not updated anything on the box. Today, the QCad command line is using a different keyboard layout -- possibly English. My locale settings are all "fr_F...

Thanks! That crept in somewhere between the versions I have. As you say, it solves my immediate problem. I would mark the heading 'solved' if I could edit it

Okay, thanks. I will have to investigate that version, if I can discover which it is. The versions I have (3.19.2 and 3.6.3) have only two columns of action icons beside the layer names, hide/view and lock/unlock. The youtube video shows 5 columns, something I have never seen. EDIT: Perhaps they are...

to "Toggle Frozen Status" for the parent layer? Not quite. There seems to be a new behaviour, where hiding the parent causes the "eye" icon oof the children to shrink, and re-enabling the parent also switches the children with the small eye to reappear, but there is no way now to switch the whole f...

I have just upgraded to 3.19.2 and discovered that each layer has to be switched visible/invisible individually. This rather defeats the advantage of having a parent layer, so I am going to roll back to an earlier version. Does anybody know which is the latest version I can use which still had the a...
