The text-field in the "New watch expression" dialogue does not scale vertically with font size. The consequence is that characters do not fit vertically in it and are truncated - see the screenshot (attached). I also found other minor UI issues. A list of all found UI issues follows. - the text-field's height does not scale (this is a the P3) (the following ones are P4-P5:) - first letters of words in the title of the dialogue should be capital - the title of the dialogue invoked from the context menu ("New watch expression") should be probably the same as of the dialogue invoked from the main menu Debug > New Watch... ("New Watch") - similarly, the name of the pop-up menu action ("New watch ...") should be same as the name of the action in the main menu ("New Watch..."). They differ in the case of word "watch" and also in the space before the ellipsis.

The field is too narrow on GTK L&F. It looks like this is associated with this. The height of the component seems to be computed in a wrong way.
