Gambas has a problem on some systems if your desktop font size is too small.

Go to your system Appearance settings and change the default "Application Font" to something more than 10.

I have found the mark is 10 , at Application font size 10 some systems have a problem, at 11 all is okay , Mint is okay and so is ubuntu on size 10, issues on most other systems though.

wait hang on , you're using Mint?? So not sure why you're getting the problem then, it's fine on mine, even at size 10??

I have reported this bug a while ago and Benoit is trying to fix it (the reason for Desktop.Scale being recently added to System info page)

So up your desktop font size to 11 (desktop settings not gambas settings) and it should fix it :)

Hmm, unless you have a different problem , like i say font setting all working fine on my latest gambas (mint 20).
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.
