I've started using containers with the line type titled border more often, but the title's font size hasn't been scaling correctly when using a higher resolution monitor or tv.
normal:
On a 4k monitor:
Other labels and text seem to scale correctly. Am I missing something on these or this possibly a bug with Vision?
Also of note: I've found the first time you open the edit window for the titled borders, the font and line style options aren't visible for the Line type border. It seems to fix itself any time the window is brought up again, and is only reset if you completely close the designer session.
First time loading:
reopening the window:
Thanks!

I see this from time to time with TVs that are mounted in high up places that require odd scaling to make the text readable. One of these days, I'm going to find a way to override the ellipsis behavior because I feel that the text being slightly cut off would work much better for most use cases that I encounter.
Messing around with this, I found a possible work around. Prefacing the text with <html><center> overrides the ellipsis behavior, and if the text overflows, it will actually wrap.
Result:

After:
This approach also allows a fixed font size to be specified that overrides the titlebar scaling all together.
Example:
<html><center><font size = 2>Great Big Long Mess of a Title
Note: Vision uses HTML 3.2 [circa 1997], and a font specification of <font size = 2> produces a font that is more like font size 10, and the maximum specification of <font size = 7> is more like font size 35.

Oh, good find! I use the html formatting to add underlines when they're not normally available, but hadn't thought of using it for more. I'd given up on using this feature and was opting for a label at the top of every container, but I may revisit this now.
Thanks for sharing your findings!
