Thanks for the hint. Should be better in the next nightly.

I am working on a new attempt to support high DPI screens. See issue #1503

Normally that proposal box is resizable via mouse so you can enlarge it. But the non-default styles cause a bug here, making it non-resizable. This was already reported here: https://github.com/SynEdit/SynEdit/issues/123

As a workaround, you can reset the theme to the default "Windows" style, in preferences > General. Then resize the proposal box to whatever size you want, then probably set your previous style.

Or, by directly editing the size in the registry:

  • exit HeidiSQL
  • start regedit
  • go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HeidiSQL
  • edit the values CompletionProposalWidth and CompletionProposalNbLinesInWindow in decimal mode
