I've already detected some recent dialog issue in Lazarus IDE. I had a 
look in SubVersion. The dialog was designed at 75 dpi (setting stored in 
.lfm file). Then somewhere along the line, the dpi setting was removed 
from the .lfm file and all the sizes (width, height etc) went nuts on my 
96 dpi Linux. Many buttons are off the visible window aread, or dialogs 
are really wide. :-(  As I mentioned, this is not specific to Lazarus, 
but to many toolkits out there...
