100461 - Using System VIO for OS/2 Window Text causes dialog problems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 86478

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Alex Sverdlin]

All dialog windows have incorrect size. It was in 0.9.2 and it's now in 0.9.4.
It's really critical, for example I cannot edit preferences at all.

If this information is not enough - I can email aditional information or
screenshots.

Thanks.

We have had no response from the reporter about creating a new profile.

Noone else is seeing this problem.

Sorry, I haven't seen your question.
I've tried to delete localstore.rdf and also created new profile. There is
absolutely no effect.
Also I've tried to change interface scheme, but it doesn't matter...

Are you running any sort of OS/2 utilities that modify your desktop?

Also, it looks like you are using System VIO as your OS/2 font. Is this correct?

What size System VIO?

OK, I found the source of this one.

It happens if you use System VIO as your Window Text font on the OS/2 
Scheme Palette.

Probably has to do with the fact that System VIO has very poor font 
metrics.

Yes, everything right.
I don't use any WPS enhancer and system default font is "System VIO" with size 3.

By the way, IBM Web Browser (IBM's builds of mozilla) never had this problem,
all dialogs appeared as they should, even with <System VIO> font.

After further investigation, we have determined that this is a cross platform 
problem having to do with small fonts.

It has been reported as 86478.
