Start by reproducing the oversized status-bar text with Notepad++ 8.6.8 on Windows 11 using the reported installation steps and debug information. No source file or test is identified in the issue, so locating the status-bar font handling will require project-wide investigation. Done means the status bar displays regular-sized text.
