Views are not resized correctly with font size settings of 125% or higher

See tickets #1582 and #1652 for the history of this problem.

This is still a problem which doesn't get solved by switching the MainForm type. Because we don't know how to fix it i postpone this ticket.

I did some research:

• ​Automatic Scaling in Windows Forms - MSDN article explaining how automatic scaling works
• ​Strange behavior in Windows Forms Application running at different DPI settings - mentions it works great at 150%, but fails at 125%. No solution is given, however one suggestion was to manually force this behavior by increasing the font size in the onload method and observing why it doesn't work

• ​AutoScaleMode problems with changed default font - suggests that you need to explicitly assign a font to the Font property to make automatic scaling work.
• ​High DPI problems - suggests to use FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel which avoid the problem
• ​Programmatically set the DPI from a .net 2.0 WinForms application - wants to disable the automatic scaling. One answer suggested to call ​SetProcessDPIAware(true) to tell windows we're (not) handling DPI scaling. Other answers suggested to disable automatic scaling by setting AutoScaleMode to None (this is a property of container controls)

r7967:

• removed assignment to Font property in HeuristicLab.MainForm.WindowsForms.DockForm
• changed AutoScaleMode to be inherited from HeuristicLab.MainForm.WindowsForms.MainForm for all user interface classes

I tested it with 125 % and Latvia as language, both alone and combined and everything worked fine. In my opinion this bug is finally fixed, just thought maybe you also want to have a look at it.

I have also tested it with 125%, but not with other language settings for non-unicode programs. Thanks for finding and correcting this bug.
