I have no idea why this started happening without changes. Perhaps due to underlying libraries changes. Anyhow, fixed in git master.

Maybe different fonts installed? Is there a reason for fixed geometry of those widgets, instead of letting Qt figure it out based on the content? I suppose there may be more problems like this in the future. Especially if proper HiDPI support will come into play…

No reason except that no one is contributing who knows python GUI stuff
which isn’t one of my skills.

I see.
BTW it’s certainly about fonts. here you can select whonix_firstrun-whonix-14-firstrun-20180915 from the dropdown above the screenshot (click eye icon at the right) and slide vertical bar to see old and new version.
