Hi Chris,

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Chris,

Cool bug find. This is a solid enough error that it deserves its own bug report on mantis. Can you give it one? I'll tie the two bugs together because there is a clear relationship.

You can answer your own question by finding out the height of the font used.
(Or run the test provided in the report and see if your font size is one of the rejects.)

In any event your picture points to a bug that needs investigation and fixing.
Good find.

Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace.


Here are the FAQs,

FAQ: Is this a known issue ? Where is the place to report bugs (or check if
some have already been raised) ?

The best place for this info would be to start a
Mantis report. (You can get a mantis acct freely and
easily).

A good place to start is:

http://bugs.squeak.org/my_view_page.php

Mantis provides a patient persistent way to focus on an issue.
I use it to accumulate data on a problem until a solution can be found.
It provides a place to alert the community to a problem;
-accumulate facts and clues from the analysis;
-publish preposed solutions and get feedback;
-get solutions harvested and included into the main stream.

===
Also squeak is a small mostly volunteer community.
If a problem bugs you enough to want it fixed
be prepared to be the one to track it down and fix it.

See if you can write a test that will fail until the problem is fixed.

See if you can write something that sets the screen to the appropriate size and res.
And makes the test pass.

Bug tracking is a good exercise for squeak learning.
