Fixed in "core-8-6-branch", too. See commit [88cc6f9e]. nemethi (claiming to be Csaba Nemethi) added on 2026-03-23 18:04:54: Fixed by commits [c36f3908] and [f47592cf]. nemethi (claiming to be Csaba Nemethi) added on 2026-03-21 14:34:47: While working on the improved, modern look of the cascade arrows, I discovered quite a few hard-coded screen distances related to menus, given in pixels (!). This has always been a bad programming habit, which on scaled screens leads to bad-looking menus and especially menubars. Now I have replaced all these numbers with scaled ones, according to the screen's scaling level. nemethi (claiming to be Csaba Nemethi) added on 2026-03-19 20:50:08: Unlike the current cascade arrows, the proposed new ones have an optimal shape that makes sure that the edges will always be straight lines, regardless of the size (which in Tk 9+ is scaling-aware). | |||
