Fixes Issue #13800

Can someone give us an inclination as to what we might be doing wrong and is causing the pull request to be rejected?

The error "API rate limit exceeded for..." can happen from time to time. When the github API are used too many times they could start failing with that message.
It has nothing to do with your PR.

I'm sorry I cannot review your PR, but I have a question: if you resize the window the font size will change?

[JoseFreixo]

@ficristo Yes, it is related to the height of the window. This is what makes the font bigger on bigger screens. But we believe that most people will keep the window height the same size as the screen and only change the width.

@JoseFreixo Good work 👍
I have one suggestion -

Can we expose a preference for the UI Font size? In it's current form, Brackets provide customisation of Code view font size but not rest of the UI! If we can bridge that gap, then this feature would be definitely useful. Also, instead of just targeting Sidebar, if we can provide a solution to just change the base font size and removing all text size related hardcoding, that would make the whole editor more useful in various circumstances.
