Node out arrow is not clickable unless zoomed in (200%DPI, Font size 14)

Software Natron

In a normal zoom, the out arrow is not clickable, because it is too small, and the mouse cursor becomes tiny hand (like 25% of my normal cursor size, which 2 in Window’s Mouse pointer settings). I think it is probably because it is not handling high-DPI well. Notepad is for size comparison.

If I zoom in more, I could click the single-pixel-like with an utmost precision and care and trials. This is the minimum zoom level I succeeded.

This is the zoom level, in which I can relatively easily click the out arrow.

Seems like this application is using QT4 and has problems with high-DPI, until it is upgraded to QT5. Meanwhile, is there a way to connect two nodes in a smaller zoom? Like some sort of modifier+drag?

Shortcut is:
select downstream node.
Shift select upstream node
press “y”
done.
Tell us if you have problems with multiple input nodes like merge where only the B input will connect with this workaround

Upgrading to Qt5 does not magically fix high-DPI issues. Anyway, I don’t have a high enough DPI screen to see these kind of issues, so it’s a bit hard to debug. The in arrow looks ok, so I should be considered a bug in the nodegraph.
