Problem with comment font size

I have installed the latest update of Studio 2024.

Now, the font size of the comments pane is extremely large:

Screenshot of Trados Studio 2024 showing a comments pane with large font size. Comments include '???' and '!!!v. nem kioldodo?'. The document name is visible in the pane.

I cannot change the font size of comments only. (It can be changed using Font adaptation, but it also changes the font size of the Translation results window.)

The related help page (https://docs.rws.com/en-US/tradosstudio-sr-1187677/adaptable-font-size-for-comments-1230668) refers to some "Font Size" group, which doesn't exist.

    Hi Sandor,

    The enlarged font in the comments pane was implemented with this latest update of Studio because it had been requested for some considerable time by many users, so the developers listened and made it so.

    It has never been possible to change just the font size of individual panes in Trados Studio, apart from the Editor window, so some users were finding it difficult to read the comments pane.

    You can indeed reduce the size via Font Adaptation but as you say it changes the size of the Editor window (not the Translation results). In theory, they could thus be the same size font but the comments pane font does look a little larger than the Editor window font, I must agree.

    Maybe in a future update, this will be improved. You could add this suggestion to the ideas page (see the second link below).

    All the best,
