In this sequence: 1. Launch MCL 2.0p1 2. Bring up one of the various dialogs (first seen with the dialog posed by the Environment... item in the Tools menu) 3. Turn on balloon help. In help balloons related to the content area of the active MCL window, descenders are cut off the characters. Other balloons seem OK. Line spacing seems normal, just no descenders. This condition remains no matter how often help balloons are turned off and on, once it happens (alternate possibility: sufficient usage of Mac heap with balloons off MIGHT cause something to be purged which would cause the condition to reset). If a Fred window or the Listener window is foremost when balloon help is first turned on, help balloons for window content (including the content of dialog windows) are normal Mac IIci, 20 meg real memory, 32-bit addressing, System 7.1, QuickTime 1.5. Other configuration on request. Priority: very low, obviously. But...when you find it, please let us know what it is...I'd be very hard pressed to achieve this condition on "command". -------------- John W.
