Just upgraded to "SUPERNOVA" (115.2.2) and the text (Drop downs, Folder Pane, message headers and Inbox) looks like it got hit by a black hole. Sorry folks, I'm getting old but I'd rather not wear reading glasses at the computer. Did not have this problem before the upgrade. I've checked the forum but the fixes do not work (also note the screen layout has changed some with the update). I can read the messages as they are both larger and subject to the zoom function.

While it may seem minor, for those of us who have been using TB for a many years and aging in the process this is a major problem. While the update, what I can see of it looks interesting, at present I am stuck with the horrible prospect of expanding my (forced) use of Outlook from just my work email to all my emails.

Is there a simple fix? And I would suggest this be fixed in an update.

Changing the density doesn't help but changing the font size does fix the problem. Thank you.

You're welcome. I was nervous about the new version, but I now prefer it to the previous one.
