I'm using the DocBook 5 authoring environment to write a paper and encountered an authoring mode formatting oddity that is best described by this screenshot:
In other words, no matter what I do, the editable text area in Author mode remains very narrow, around a fourth of the available editor pane width.
My screen is a 4k HiDPI one and the OS is Ubuntu 15.10. Since Java apps including oXygen have problems with HiDPI scaling (I've set a factor 2 in the UI itself), I have doubled the font sizes in Preferences. Obviously, the icons are still tiny but all in all, oXygen is usable this way.
Windows 10 handles the oXygen UI well, scaling almost everything, and the narrow Author mode editable space is nowhere in evidence.
Am I right in thinking that this is an artefact of the HiDPI screen and the current problems HiDPI brings to the Java implementation in Linux? Is there something I can do to fix this?
And perhaps more importantly, please tell me that you have something planned to support those of us using Linux and modern hardware? Pretty please?
Thanks,
Ari Nordström
