I upgraded QU to 2016.110 and the text size is much better on my Dell XPS13 with Win10.  I'm using the 250% option and most of the text looks pretty much normal.  There are still problems with some text being truncated, apparently due to the space allotted to the text not being properly scaled to the size of the font used in that space.  I've noticed this problem on many other apps, I believe even on Microsoft's own apps, so maybe this problem is deeper than can be handled by tweaking the UI.

Unfortunately, when I try to import files from my SD card, the file and folder names are chopped off so much they're virtually unreadable, so I have to hover the cursor over anything I need to read.

Anyway, thanks for the unbelievably quick response to my report.  I think a lot more computers are going to have HD displays and that the issue of scaling will eventually be solved in a global fashion.  Until then, these problems will impair usability on HD machines.

Looks like you are not alone, not just QU either!
Google the subject, lots of problems with small high res screens.

I just installed Win10 on my Dell XPS, and the problem is the same, except that QU opens in full screen, rather than <1/4 screen as it did in Win8.1.  Sigh...life's tough on the bleeding edge!

I just installed QU for the first time on my Dell XPS 13, which has 3200x1800 native resolution and Win8.1.  When I run QU I need a microscope to read any of the program text/commands.   I can, of course "dumb down" my resolution, but I want to see my photos in all their glory and manually resetting my resolution only for QU and back when I'm done is not an option.  Is this a Windows bug (that might or might not be fixed in Win10), or is there a way to make QU usable on a modern hi-res Windows laptop?
