Hi,

Only seen this since last upgrade (using on Kubuntu Lucid). Some text on some sites is overwritten. Could be bad design but seeing quite a bit of this but cannot see any obvious reason. I also have a new monitor but as nothing else is giving problems!!

I have searched around but found nought on this (yet).

Many Thanks.

Paul.

See websites look wrong, a possible cause for this behaviour is a minimum font size being set.

Such issues can also be caused if a different font is used on pages that is wider than the specified font. If you do not have the specified font and Firefox uses a font that is wider then you can get that problem. Some websites are also coded badly and use absolute positioning or specify a fixed height.

If you can't solve it via Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should then please post a link to sites that look wrong.

Thanks for the very quick responses.

I think it may be the 'minimum font' that I did have set. I've changed that to 'NONE' now so I'll keep an eye on it. If it does happen again I'll log the website/s.

Thanks again.
