Source: gnumeric Version: 1.12.48-1+b2 Followup-For: Bug #881571 I'm seeing the 'wrong row-height' issue on all my spreadsheets, not just ones imported from calc and excel.
In a newly-created sheet the font-size is about twice the row-height, just as in the badly-displayed sheets. If I type something into a cell the characters overhang the next row and then when one hits enter the row is resized to fit the just-entered font-size. Clearly the issue wth the 'characters too big for the rows' is related - the default font-szie is much begger than the default row-size. (looks like about twice as big) This may well be related to the fact that I have a HiDPI display here (3840x2160) so various things have had to be tweaked to make charcters and screen elements be sensible sizes. I tried changing GDK_SCALE=1 instead of 2, but that just produce exactly the same effect (fonts twice as tall as rows) with the overall window 1/4 the area. Not sure what to fiddle with next. But this is a serious problem making gnumeric kind of useless for exaisting sheets unless one wants to resize the fonts in every cell -- Wookey
