Please try dropping a 10 or 12 point System VIO font on the hints

twice. Note these won't stick but looking at the
screenshot it looks like the font is simply too small.

So absurdly small, in fact, that I thought the text was coming up
misplaced and clipped or something like that, but you're right --
dropping a font setting on the hint windows fixes it. Actually, text
overlaps badly at first right after the font drop, so the PM popup must
be dismissed, and brought back on before everything looks right, which I
guess is to be expected.

None of this makes any sense. If I do the drop here it doesn't stick but
it doesn't overlap.

Naturally, the question is displaced slightly yet it remains essentially
the same -- why did that happen with lSwitcher started one way, but not
the other? It certainly looks a lot less like it may hold some secret
key to fixing everything in one go, though :(

You are probably correct but what is it telling us.

Oh, btw: the "fix" does stick. Another thing I wanted to report is that
lswitch.ini is saved all the time now. Didn't we have a "Save" button
for that?

Yes but since we really don't have a cancel button and we save the setting
on termination they always get saved. This has been true since CS136.

One of the problems is that some things in the ini get changed outside the
settings notebook. The hints font for example.

What screen resolution are you using? Thanks

That screenshot comes from a virtual test system running at 800x600
(it's very handy -- see the capture is not scaled), but the same happens
on bare metal at 1280x1024.

This may have something to do with the font issue. I am running 1600x1200 on
my build setup and 1920x1080 on  5.0.6.0. Is your DPI font size set to default?
