The "graphics spilling over in large fonts" bug is still there from the Protel 2.x days. It is a rookie programmer mistake. It was not a big deal in 99SE where all the critical text is in dialog boxes (double click on a pad or a track for example, and all the changeable data is dialogs which are not affected). In DXP onwards, this data is displayed as standard text on the background and when things spill over, you can not read what is written because useful data is being clipped or overwritten.
This does not happen if you are using "standard" size font. But if you are using a high resolution display, anything bigger than about 1280 x 1024, you have to go with a larger font (I use dual 2048 x 1600 displays). Altium has obviously not tested the software in that screen size, even though they have been aware of the bug and its implications -- I know because I have personally reported it to them in every release (asked about it for AD6 and was told it was there). Their solution to me was "you do not need such a big display" > yep, I understand that, even so, its VERY quite, and a lot of the > posters here are using AD2004 or AD6. > If that is so, then I wonder, with supposedly such great support from Altium for the current products on their own forums (actual engineers to the company president monitoring and responding) what are these people doing on an outside 99SE forum seeking Altium support? Are they stupid? Ignorant? Or not really using AD? Something just does not add up.
