I (on Windows) feel like the fonts are rather on the small side when compared to other programs. I personally feel more comfortable with rather large font sizes (especially on small screens).
Anyway, I feel like the solution to this difference in tastes is zoom. And indeed, you can Ctrl+Scroll zoom in and out on the deck options screen as well as the stats screen (but not with Ctrl + plus/minus). On the stats screen, however, it doesn’t change the size of the images, unfortunately. And the zoom resets when you exit and re-enter the screens.
The zoom should really be persistent, IMO. Like in any web browser. In the review screen, there is the “proper solution” of setting the desired size in the card styling; however, this is not available for the deck options and stats screens – and in addition to that, not the most user-accessible solution.
Firefox has a hidden settingbrowser.compactmode.show that enables the compact UI density option Alternatively, you can just set browser.uidensity to 1.
Maybe that’s an idea for Anki, too. Two different density settings.
I think it’s default behaviour for the spin box (and similar widgets) to only consider the value changed when it loses focus after being edited by direct keyboard entry.
If you change the value with the keyboard and then tab to the next control before clicking Save, it works just fine.
If you can identify the exact steps that trigger an issue, that makes it easier for us to dig into the problem, as we don’t have to spend time trying to trigger the issue first.
This is a bit confusing, as the example in the docs used this. I’ll update the page to mention compatibility.
Please let me know if the next beta doesn’t fix it.
Of course I will as soon as I notice a pattern. Strangely, these three behaviours occurred very frequently after the first launch of the beta version and not at all recently.

One additional piece of information: If I’m on the Browse screen, I don’t see the Preferences (as expected), but I do see two Settings... that are grayed out.
I’m not sure if it supposed to be fixed yet so this may be premature, that odd table coloring in Dark mode is still there on the Browse screen.
That’s because Google Docs adds the following formatting to the clipboard text:
<b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Formatted text is problematic.</span></b>
The text is then already regarded as bolded due to the <b> tag and Anki will unbold the selection when you use the editor button.
The solution is to use Ctrl+Shift+V whenever possible. This tells Anki to strip such extra formatting and only keep the raw text.
This is not a new issue introduced by 2.1.55. Preformatted text is always problematic, because every third-party app outputs HTML into the clipboard a bit differently.
I have been using the latest beta version since it came out. Playing mp3 files has not been a problem so far, but now when I called up a deck with language files today I got a notice that necessary player software is missing. Unfortunately I clicked it away by mistake, so I can’t reproduce the exact wording. Any ideas why the problem only appears after a few days? I have not made any changes to the system (macOS 12.6.1.).
I have noticed two issues with tag input in Beta 6, including the above.
Start typing a tag, keep typing some characters until the autocomplete popup disappears, then press Enter:
The caret that prompts you to type another tag does not appear next to it.
Click on the tag area or press Ctrl+Shift+T, and then press Enter without typing anything while the tag input is active:
The caret disappears, and after that, the caret does not appear when you click on the tag area or press Ctrl+Shift+T, and you can no longer enter tags.
The tag editor is a really big component. It’s a bit overwhelming. As long as I don’t fully understand it works from top to bottom, patching these small issues is a futile endeavour, because I might introduce new issues in the process…
If anyone is up for the task, your help with the tag editor would be greatly appreciated.
I’m seeing this in a few other apps. (This is in the latest Ventura Beta.) From what I can tell from reading other forums, this may be related to Apple changing Settings versus Preferences.
