Context menus are disproportionately huge when zoomed out

[jkent]

Type: Bug

On a Linux Debian Bookworm 12.6 system using XFCE:

• Set zoom level to -2
• Right click in file browser or editor to bring up a context menu

The context menu is so large that in the file browser you have to scroll the context menu to access all of its items. This is a nusance for devices with smaller screens such as 1366x768 where screen real-estate is at a premium.

If this didn't happen for you before 1.92 the maybe a duplicate of #224515

[jkent]

Ah yes, this is appears to be a duplicate. Sorry that I missed it in my search. The workaround works for me. Closing.
