chat window text crooked
« on: September 19, 2016, 09:54:39 PM »
I have an intermittent issue with the chat text.  Sometimes, the first, and/or the second line of text is skewed.  See attachment

You have to change the size of the buffer window. This happened to me and drove me nuts. It only takes a pixel or two, so watch the text and carefully make the window taller; you'll see the text fix itself.

Thanks... That however seems more like a work around, than a fix.  That whole "didn't do it before" applies 

It doesn't really bother me, but since I saw it, I thought I would report it.

So I tried this, and it didn't have the effect you said it did.  When I increased the height of the text box, it just moved where the text was skewed.  It's almost as if there is a diagonal line from the lower left, to the upper right that shifts the pixels.  Funny thing is, I tried it off line so I could get a screen shot, and it didn't have the same problem. 

Out of town right now, but I will try to get a better screeny.
