Steps to reproduce:
Updated to thunderbird 115.3.1-1, on workstation running nvidia driver, f38, and mate desktop.
Actual results:
On restart, window sizes and fonts were incorrect.
Expected results:
New version should look similar to prior version. On two other F38 systems with stock Intel and Radeo video, the update works fine. The 115 version displays correctly. On the nvidia-based workstation, the thunderbird window sizes and fonts are incorrect (too large).

Yes and no. There seems to be a scaling quirk with the nvidia card driving a 4K display. Setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.1, and setting the view/density control to compact results in an ok display, sized similarly to the previous version.

Please try the following and report on results. Your input is important.
Setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.1 will cause a zoom effect and unbalance all other font settings.
The default is a negative -1.0
Please access config editor and reset this back to default as it will be impossible to get all the other settings working as expected.
Then do the following:
via 'Menu bar' toolbar - View > Font Size
Select 'Reset Font Size' first to get back to default
Then select 'increase font size' or 'decrease font size' as required.
alternative via Menu app icon:
Menu icon > Font Size > 12px is the default - click on whatever you see as the number icon and it will reset to default 12px
Use the - and + icons to decrease/increase the font size in the UI.
What font size px is the most suitable?
The areas I'm most interested in is the 'Folder Pane, Menus and Message List' because the Message Pane can be otherwise controlled via different method.
