This also spells trouble on Hi-res monitors.

@Don:
I do understand the difficulties of having the info panel scale along with zoom factors and font sizes, but maybe the layout could be made more space-generous?

There are miles of unused space where the info panel is completey blank. If individual elements were spread out to the right, labels and captions less crowded, bounding boxes getting more leeway (vertical and horizontal) - the result would look great with blown-up interfaces, and still good enough on regular screens. At worst, some phone-app users may have to temporarily hide the catalog to see the full width of the info panel.

Not a good idea. I live with illegible overlaps - on purpose. It is the only way to run XY on really high DPi settings. I prefer to struggle with truncated words rather than having to resort to screen loupes and magnifiers.
