Summary0002615: "con_scaletext" causes giant text and HUD.
DescriptionIf "con_scaletext" is enabled, the fullscreen HUD and messages become gigantic, obscuring most of the screen.
Steps To ReproduceIn the config, set "con_scaletext" to true or in the game go to Options > HUD Options > Message Options and set "Scale text in high res" to ON.

The Fullscreen HUD, and any onscreen messages should now fill the screen.
Additional InformationAs of writing, I have reproduced this bug on the latest official alpha build (160131-2023) which I ran on Windows XP, as well as 160202-1932, which I built myself on Linux. It also happens in every screen resolution I tested, in both Software and OpenGL. The bug will happen regardless of the setting of "con_scaletext_usescreenratio".

What are your con_virtualwidth and con_virtualheight set to? The screenshot suggests that they're very small. You can set them in the "text scaling" submenu.

In fact I didn't realize that the "Scale text in high res" option existed. It appears to be a duplicate of the "enable text scaling" option in the "text scaling" submenu.

You're right, the con_virtualwidth and con_virtualeheight were both set to 32, and changing it fixed the problem.

I deleted my config and started again, and it turns out that 32x32 are the default values for a new config, which is far too small.

As for "Scale text in high res", it seems to be a more recent addition to Zdoom as it doesn't exist in Zandronum before the 3.0 alpha.

These defaults have been present since forever. You can, for instance, Zandronum 2.1.2 with a clean INI and notice that the HUD scaling still defaults to 32x32 which causes the text to be ridiculously large when text scaling is enabled. I think 320x200 would make a better default.

Changed the default to 640x480.

Just tested this by building with the pull request change and wiping my old config. New defaults are a massive improvement!

I tested this as well and didn't see any issues.
