Large resolution displays
DDO interface does not allow for scaling. As a result, it can be pretty hard to see the buttons and icons at extreme resolutions, because the controls are simply too small.

Fortunately, some ways exist that work for at least some players to alleviate the situation:
 * Font size can be changed in-game: Options > UI Settings tab > Chat Font.
 * There seems to be a Windows setting that might help:
 * Workaround: decrease the resolution of your display
