Yeah I don't really want to straight up revert this change because it will regress #4246, but we probably do need to change the autoscale mode in these functions back to Font.

The reason I wanted it to use Dpi is because font scaling is not consistent and usually just depends on the dpi setting again, but it makes sense that things that contain text need to be sized so that the text fits, even if that changes the layout.

Here's what I would do: Morilli@0726c2d

edit: auto-link assumes this repo, fixed --yoshi

Seems like this build fixes the issue.

I've tested both that build and this PR, and saw no difference on Ubuntu, while both are still broken on NixOS†.
So @Morilli it's your call on which approach to take.

† So no difference there either.
I did have an idea: You said you use Mint 22? Which would default to an X11 session. My machines run GNOME Wayland and Plasma Wayland respectively, and I suspect the Bazzite user who CNR would also be on Wayland. But then in #4469 OP said she uses Ubuntu 24.04, which I thought would default to Wayland?

That's correct, I am using Mint 22. I don't think there's a way for me to switch to Wayland on Mint (at least from the 60 seconds of searching I've done, I'm new to Linux), but if there is I'd be happy to test on Wayland.

Not exactly, the keybinds dialogs are fine

Does this issue happen on 2.11, or is it a regression caused by the fixes? Interestingly, after doing some testing the fix I made seems to actually fix the Memory Editor window as well on my machine (it's broken on 2.10 and 2.11).

Let me know if you want me to close this PR in favor of Morilli's, or integrate their changes into this PR.
