Hello,

I just installed memoQ to a new computer and I feel uncomfortable with the look I see on my new computer.
Please see the attached picture. For some reason segment height is not enough and I can't see the percentage number very well.

How can make the segment height bigger?
Of course I checked Options > Appearance and changed font size to 12 (actually the font size of the memoQ I was using in my old computer was set to 10) but no change...

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Options > Appearance > Translation grid score font size 75% (you may need another percentage).

I reported the problem to MemoQ support last year, so they are aware of it. ▲ Collapse

Thank you so much! Amazing! Dec 10, 2019

Thomas,

I do remember you helped me for other issue as well in the past.
Thank you again for your help.

It's now showing comfortably. Many thanks. I tried Translation grid score font size as 100% because 75% was a bit small and it still worked!
