Re: [Adobe-source-devel] Small/mini control size fix

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

All,

I think the clipping is due to the fudge system being applied 
inappropriately. There's enough stuff massively broken in there that 
I'll be spending some time fixing it up after the ASL 1.0.2 release. I 
also aim to take some of what Ralph has been working on in Windows and 
trying to see what is applicable to the Mac-- I trust something good 
will come of it.

Blessings,
Foster
