--- Comment #45 from Roger <redbeardgrey at gmail.com> ---
Windows UI scaling is neither clean nor helpful; it enlarges EVERYTHING, not
just the App UI. Even if I do enlarge the fonts alone (which is possible in the
OS), that enlarges ALL the fonts, not just the font of the formula bar (which
is truly what I need; 9-pt Segoe UI ... &*^*@#$%^!!!).

Currently I'm using a 3rd party utility (from Wintools) to change a category of
fonts (this has some side effects, which I can live with) to make the formula
bar usable.

The ability to scale the UI separately from the data display, which I
understand went away for reasons, was a highly useful setting, and I'd
appreciate it being returned to us users in some way, shape, or form.

I think scaling should be pursued as a set of settings. Menu, toolbars, input
boxes, default font sizes, and so forth. In fact, if LO copied Excel's choice,
that the default font size for a new spreadsheet is the default input font
size, that wouldn't be horrid.

Thanks for all your work in development, btw; don't want to minimize that.
