This is REALLY weird, Susan!

You're right: the problem is indeed your 115% DPI setting. I've tested
this setting myself and found the same problem. NORMALLY there is a
row of FOUR knobs: Channel, Controller, Value 1 and Value 2, but in
your situation (for a reason I don't understand yet) Value 1 and Value
2 are shifted one item to the left; so Value 1 simply overlays Controller.

In fact, you CAN actually select the invisible Controller knob, namely
by selecting the Channel knob, then pressing the Tab key: if you then
press the left/right arrows, the text string below changes
accordingly! (This indicates the name of the current controller
value.) But of course this isn't workable.

I've noticed that your 115% mode also causes some other strange effects:
- Certain knobs are smaller than others (e.g. Value 1 vs. Value 2).
- The text strings in tables sometimes extend beyond their column
widths; this is especially annoying for columns with fixed widths,
such as the first 3 in the button and encoder list windows. ("Normal"
columns can be narrowed/widened by dragging the splitter in the header
row.)

I'll try to figure out the exact hows and whys of all these problems.
I MIGHT be able to come up with a solution (perhaps even in the
upcoming vs. 1.6.0), but I'm not very hopeful. I painstakingly made
sure that everything fits perfectly under a standard DPI setting, but
I hadn't realized how bad things can go wrong under non-standard settings.

Have you seen this type of problem with other software under your 115%
mode?
I seem to remember that several years ago I myself tried a different
DPI setting (125% I think), but I went back to standard mode almost
immediately in disgust, because of all kinds of problems with various
programs.
