Description

TForm not addapt size to different font DPI. When my clients run applicatioon and in system have font dpi like 120 dpi all controls adapt size to this font buf form not!

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create project with Form and on it some controls like TEdit.
2. Compile project.
3. Change screen fonts in Windows.
4. Restart system.
5. Run application from exe file not from IDE.
6. You see that not all controls is in arrea of Form (scrollbars are visible - but if you not set AutoScroll you can not reach all controls on the form.

Also is difference between VCL and CLX. Height of a form in VCL is without title bar but in CLX is with title bar.
