Not all quality choices visible if there are too many

If videos have many different quality options, it may happen that not all quality choices are visible on screen. I'm not sure if/how it may be possible to deal with this.
I have the same problem. The text for the quality options seems to vary depending on the current resolution of the currently playing video?
When I open a video and it's in 4k, I see only very few options because the text is huge. The options are clearly still there as I can navigate down through them with the arrow keys but I can't see what I'm selecting.
After lowering the resolution to 1080p, the text is a lot smaller and I can see a lot more of the options.
The global mpv options osd-font-size and osd-scale-by-window and the mpv-youtube-quality option scale_playlist_by_window can be used to change how mpv does font size at different resolutions, though it might take a bit of fiddling around to find a configuration you like.
Improving this so mpv-youtube-quality measures the size of the window and the text, so it can create a nice scrolling menu that fills the available space correctly is on my roadmap, but I haven't laid down any code for it yet.
Ok, by setting osd-font-size I can make the font always a reasonable size, and osd-scale-by-window=no helps too I think but haven't tested it that much. However, I've realised that there's a bigger issue. When the video first loads, the quality menu appears separately from the video, but if I set the quality to something lower, say 480p then it's as though the menu becomes part of the video, and it won't go back to the normal size/position even if I change the quality back to what it was before.

I'm guessing the way your script works is that it creates a new mpv window within the first one or something like that? Because after changing the quality, my screenshot tool shows me that they are two different windows.
I have the same problem: list with all availabled formats are not fully visibled.
I resolve problem by changing:
style_ass_tags={\\fnmonospace\\fs40\\bord1}
in youtube-quality.conf
