[lindsayfowler]

Icons mingling with menu text is still a problem in Spyder 5, and enabling auto high DPI scaling in Preferences > Application doesn’t seem to fix it. (WIndows 10)

[ccordoba12]

This is already fixed and part of our 5.0.1 version, released a week and a half ago and soon to be part of Anaconda.
