- In this sequence:
- 1. Launch MCL 2.0p1
- 2. Bring up one of the various dialogs (first seen with the dialog posed by
- the Environment... item in the Tools menu)
- 3. Turn on balloon help.
-
- In help balloons related to the content area of the active MCL window,
- descenders are cut off the characters. Other balloons seem OK. Line
- spacing seems normal, just no descenders. This condition remains no matter
- how often help balloons are turned off and on, once it happens (alternate
- possibility: sufficient usage of Mac heap with balloons off MIGHT cause
- something to be purged which would cause the condition to reset).
-
- If a Fred window or the Listener window is foremost when balloon help is
- first turned on, help balloons for window content (including the content of
- dialog windows) are normal
-
- Mac IIci, 20 meg real memory, 32-bit addressing, System 7.1, QuickTime 1.5.
- Other configuration on request.
-
- Priority: very low, obviously. But...when you find it, please let us know
- what it is...I'd be very hard pressed to achieve this condition on
- "command".
