Description of problem: Arduino-IDE's UI in the version shipped with Mageia currently (1.6.5) doesn't have any scaling functionality, so on high-dpi screens the actual editor is scaled 100%, while the rest of your desktop might be scaled 200% or more, resulting in tiny/unusable text. Later versions of the IDE (starting with 1.6.8 - released in March 2016) provided a setting in preferences to adjust the scaling. (see release notes in URL) Please update to current 1.8.x version. Since 1.8.6 it should be able to auto-detect a proper value ~reliably.
Assigning to the registered maintainer, CC'ing all packagers collectively, because I don't think I've seen Yann Cantin since 2016.

Yes the menu text are really tiny, and nonaliased, so ugly. Some words we have to guess. Anybody know when 1.9.0 is out? It have been in beta about a year... Could be good to have in mga7.
