This is a cherry-pick of the changes of #13465 for 2.5.
The text height of the Play marker hints (beats and time until next marker) was limited to a third of the waveform viewer. Increasing the font size beyond that had no effect, until the waveform viewer was made higher.
This was confusing to the user and could be interpreted as a bug. Also, this limit of 1/3rd was arbitrary and not obvious. See this comment from Eve:

To make the mechanism more clear, I have renamed "Font size" to "Preferred font size" and added a combobox "Text height limit" with options "1/3rd on waveform viewer" and "Full waveform viewer".
