Yes, that's intended. The window resizing is explicitely made to maintain a
constant aperture ratio, i.e. width-to-height ratio. And the decisive
parameter for setting the absolute size is its width, meaning you have to
change the WIDTH to change the size. If you want, you canchange this, but I
found the resulting display mostly not so good looking, prompting me to
introduce that little quirk to keep it "pleasant"
So no measures from my side here, at least if I understood you correctly.

Thank you for reporting. That's indeed interesting, since that same
statement compiles without problem under Linux with fpc. Indeed, it does
NOT compile with the "ar8ty" cast, but produces the DIFFERENT error message
'Error: Identifier not found "beton8"'.
So this most probabely is a Windows specific problem, where the "currency"
type seems to be defined slightly differently, and where the endian shuffle
function "beton8" possibly is defined differently, with another parameter
signature, probabely.
It might be neccessary so to introduce a system dependent compilation
conditional to provide the correct type coertion expression.
(BTW, the FPC "ref.pdf" documentation text says toward this:
"The currency type is a fixed-point real data type which is internally used
as an 64-bit integer type (automatically scaled with a factor 10000), this
minimizes rounding errors.". So this is not exactly defined - and there's
no type definition to be found in the FPC sources, even - and seems to be
compatible to an int64 on Linux only, but not on Windows.)
Perhaps the following might do, at least for FPC:
// Added for recent postgresql versions (28. Mar 2024 22:54:58):
{$ifdef FPC}
{$ifdef WINDOWS}
int64 (ar8ty (cur)):= beton8 (pint64 (currbuff)^);
{$else}
int64 (cur):= beton (pint64 (currbuff)^); // point here
{$endif}
{$else}
int64 (ar8ty (cur)):= beton8 (pint64 (currbuff)^);
{$endif}
This will not help for a different Pascal compiler, but that's probabely
not really been tested already at all...
I hope this gives you sufficient, though possibly not satisfying, answers
to your requests,
Thank you again for your information, and keep up the good work!
