Improve handling of high DPI displays

There seem to be bits of the WordPerfect code where improvements would be useful to improve the appearance on modern laptop displays with high DPI. After installing WPO on my new laptop, I found two problems:

Firstly, the list of codes in Find|Match|Codes is vertically compressed so that the downward stems on letter "p", "g" etc is masked by the word in the line below (see the attached image). The list is still legible in my case but others who have had this problem have had it worse. This can be addressed by changing the compatibility settings. However, it took me a while to find this and many people might not find the fix. (I had the valuable assistance of David in Tech Support.)

Secondly, when I use "Hide bars" (Alt-Shft-F5) to hide menu, tool and property bars with the window Restored down (smaller than maximized), the bars disappear as intended, but when I press the key again to bring them back, the tool and property bars appear blank without the buttons. They then come back if I refresh the display by minimising the window and then restoring it.

Neither of these stops use of the program (thank goodness!) but it would be good if they could be fixed soon, please!
