So something is different from default in windows regarding themes/fonts/size. So I need to know what in order to reproduce it and fix it. Or you could save your current setting go back to default and try then to resize box. Or edit directly config file
Yes. Font size was changed from Default scale (96 DPI) to Larger scale (120 DPI). This app is being used on a HTPC so Font size is an issue (the larger the better when sitting 8 to 10 ft from the screen).
I changed the Font size back to Default and that fixed both issues (resizing and text being chopped off). I resized the group pull downs etc. while i was in Default scale. When I went back to Larger scale, the resizing was still in place and I'm now able to use those drop down boxes (resizing of course no longer works). This works for a temporary work around.
Also note that the Queue size being cut off by the speed graph was also fixed by changing font back to default. Going back to Larger scale of course screwed that up again.
