While QField suffered from these limitations for some times already, the font-size configuration in QField 2.7 highlight some of the problems.

  1. Titles in dialogs in QField does not respect the font size configuration.

Bug that is fixed in Qt6, so we have to wait a bit more.

  1. When a label is too big to fit it's container, it cuts the word and shows ellipsis for all the hidden spaces. Which is ok, until you want to see what is hidden behind the ellipsis. Workaround might be to rotate in horizontal mode to expand the space, but not always possible or with positive results:

Bug that has no solution so far. Other solution might be a toast showing the full text when clicked. In theory, Qt should allow vertical scroll so you can scroll over the full text, but not supported so far.

  1. Long menu items text is cut. The problem with any combination of the following:
  • narrow screens
  • verbose menu items
  • big fonts

Showing ellipsis will hide a few more characters, so it's a not. Multiline menu items would improve the situation, but not supported by Qt so far.
