Oh dear ... Please do, that's a more generic problem: The "8" in the rules (and in some of the SRCs) means "8/8 of the height of the font". That is, for years now, the rule was that fixed texts, and check boxes, and radio buttons, have to have the height of the font - which is reasonable, isn't it? Now with native look, we started using the system routines for painting certain elements - in particular, the images in front of the radio button / check box text are now provided by the system, and obviously, they're higher than the used font is. Strange enough. I fear we can't change this except by changing the rules and all affected places - even if this doesn't scale: what if tomorrow there's a desktop theme where the images are 12/8 of the font height? On the long term, only a layout manager will help here. > [1] By the way, another documentation issue: in > http://specs.openoffice.org/installation/wizards/wizards_NewConcept.sxw > the buttons are 40 x 14, instead of 50 x 14 (!) I'd ignore it, buttons have alway been 50x14 :) > [2] if I'm not wrong, this tools is the go-oo source code, does OOo have > some similar search tool? The tool searches the usual OOo sources, AFAIK. It's just not hosted on the normal ooo site, but that doesn't matter here.
