Font size too big with Oracle Look and Feel

Hi

Apologies if this has been raised previously, I don't often post here as SQL Developer just works for me!

When I use the Oracle Look and Feel in SQL Developer the font size in the left-hand connections pane is too big and makes it practically unusable. I have been using SQL Developer happily on this Macbook for over a year now and this problem has only happened in the last week or so. The first time it happened it resolved itself when I restarted the Macbook, but the problem has come back and a restart hasn't fixed it. The font size in the rest of the screen is fine, but it makes it practically unusable. I've switched to the MAC OS X Look and Feel which has resolved the problem, but I much prefer the Oracle Look and Feel.

With Oracle Look and Feel it looks like:

With MAC OS X Look and Feel it looks like:

I'm also having a problem with it not remembering the layout of my windows when I restart SQL Developer, this is not so much an issue, but it may be linked as it started at the same time which is why I mention it.

I have searched the forum and found a similar post, Font too large when switching to 1440x900 resolution on macOS but this hasn't been answered and I'm not chaning the resolution.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Sara
