My understanding from the "text overflow in text frames" thread is that this is indeed an inherent issue (i.e., not just 64-bit), and has to do with the fact that the text frame assumes that it might contain characters with bounding boxes that don't fit within it, even if it fact it doesn't do so. So if (as in my case) one has only upper case characters in the frame, the frame still assumes that there are characters with descenders present and forces the user to include the space for those (non-existent) descenders. > message crops up once in a while when there actually is no overflow, but > it is not really a problem. I haven't seen any kind of "text overflow message". All I see is that the text disappears from the screen if I make the frame too short. Once I understood the issue, I worked around it; until then I had thought there was a margin setting somewhere that I couldn't find.
