Short description of error
Spreadsheet text when enlarged has too much [ . . . ]

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Spreadsheet editor.
Blender preferences -> Themes -> Text Style -> Widget -> Increase "Points".

The numbers should not get ... but be clipped instead (so 1.0000 -> 1.00).

@Kent-Davis - It is still very early in the development of the Spreadsheet editor, so many things will change in it over the short term. I imagine the width of the spreadsheet columns will be one of them.

What Kent is pointing out is that the widths of the spreadsheet columns are currently set to a hardcoded width that only changes with user scale:

return 5 * UI_UNIT_X

However many users, especially those with vision issues, need to change the UI font sizes separately from Resolution Scale. Both cases can be accommodated by something like this instead:

  const uiStyle *style = UI_style_get_dpi();
  return style->widget.points * 9 * U.dpi_fac;

Oh well they know me as well I have low vision and deaf.
They did fix many different thing to width correctly before until now.
I believe they can do fix everything on Blender.

I cannot actually reproduce this. Please specify the steps to reproduce this from "Factory Preferences". The screenshot you shared has way too many unrelated changes.

Ok, confirming as a bug but setting as low priority in case the UI team wants to tackle it. Though tempted to move to known issue or even archived if the UI team don't think this is important.

@dfelinto - is if the fix is to change the columns to resize based on UI scale, or to just make sure the text doesn't get ...

Currently the columns each have a fixed width that does properly change with Preferences/Interface/Resolution Scale, but does not change if similarly altering the font sizes (as Kent needs for accessibility). You can simulate what Kent sees by going into Preferences/Themes/Text Style and changing each of the three "Points" sizes to 24. In that state all the text is much larger without the rest of the UI dimensions changing.

I mostly commented to make the problem understood, and to let Kent know that this area is under construction. I'm assuming that the column sizes will eventually be made to be auto-sizing to content, or differ by data type, and/or allow users to drag to any width. I didn't want to jump in and submit the above simple solution while you seem to be actively in construction.

@dfelinto You should know.
I have low vision and I unable to view too small text.
Not matter on size need to auto width to be fit itself.

Scale: Push the 'S' key then drag a little then click appear there still (...)
About auto width and height too.
