DECLINED: caused by the fact the form has been edited under different DPI settings. Workaround: specify the MinimumSize property at run time.
The issue is present because the form at hand was edited in the Visual Studio designer on a system with higher DPI settings. This caused the following line of code to be serialized in the Designer.cs file: this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(10F, 20F); Deleting this line or setting the values to the standard ones (6F, 13F) resolves the issue.
