Research direction

Start in the Settings → Appearance tab and Sidebar tab, reproduce the issue with the font size set to 32, and inspect the dropdown label and checkbox hover state. Done means the selected dropdown value remains unobscured and the checkbox check icon stays inside its box at font sizes of 28 or more; no test or file is named in the issue.
