I wasn't happy about the use of the term "kerning" but used it for lack of knowing a better one. It seems to be a bug in the font, because with Verdana or Arial it doesn't happen. edit: Ok, after some more tests I found out that with size 15 or 17 (DejaVu Sans) it doesn't happen. So the b...

Maybe because of a negative kerning of the "W". If you're kerning, you need a character in front of the W to pair it with. There is no such character in the example, so no kerning of the left of the W should occur. Since gazelle's suggestion works (here), it seems to me that kerning of th...

I seem to remember from years ago that some Locales (and fonts) do that. I can't offer you a fix. If you could provide a code example, (and all your system settings), we can test it and write a report for you. I guess I will have to work around this then by writing at least one pixel to the right. ...

Hi, I may have found a small bug. When I open a non proportional font like DejaVu Sans and write to a window right next to the left border using IGraphics->Text(rp, Window->BorderLeft, y), and the first character is a 'W', a column of one pixel wide is cleared from the left border. Am I write or wro...

@gazelle & @ssolie,

Ok, thanks, I will try that.

Maybe not, but isn't that the whole point of the verify flag? No - the point of it is so you can back-up parts of the screen that are likely to get destroyed by Intuition, and potentially change the pen colours (or does Intuition do that itself? Can't remember) I see. Well, I guess it is a pity I c...

The problem happens when I have the window of my own program open. I use IDCMP_MENUVERIFY so I can enable or disable a menu item before the menu will be shown. When the message arrives, I call ClearMenuStrip, enable or disable a menu item, and then call ResetMenuStrip. If I remove this code after g...

@xenic I've done what you said but I get the same result. I have wired mice without adapters. I've also noticed that the problem doesn't seem to occur right after booting, but does occur when I run one of my own programs (which does use IDCMP_MENUVERIFY). I will have to do some more testing in the ...

@samo79 Maybe. It also seems that the menu always appears immediately when you click the button while moving the mouse, but that there can be a short delay if you don't move it. But I am really super lazy, that's why I like sticky panels in the first place. That way I don't have to keep pressing the...
