Description Gale Andrews 2009-11-18 19:51:53 UTC

See URL. We need a patch that only widens the TimeTextCtrl when the screen font actually is anti-aliased.

No longer in wiki Release Checklist as of 29th Jan 2010.

Comment 2 Gale Andrews 2010-01-30 02:08:51 UTC

Gale: Misunderstanding - bug not fixed and still valid. Was never put on Checklist because we were at the time placing low priority bugs in Bugzilla only as an experiment. 

Ed: This bug still exhibits. There seems to be some chance that the error is in
wxWidgets not Audacity itself. I am not going to look at it again until we
compile Audacity with wxWidgets 2.9 although I am planning on checking out
2.8.11 sometime in the next couple days. It is a trivial bug. It is easily
"fix" by adding two pixels to the string width when it is calculated; this
met with great resistance unless I could only do it when the screen font was
anti-aliased -- something I was not able to determine on an OS agnostic
basis.

Comment 3 Peter Sampson 2017-08-05 11:39:44 UTC

I have no idea how to test this.

But I'm thinking that the latest changes to the Sellection Toolbar may weel have fixed or obviated this.

Comment 4 James Crook 2017-08-16 11:01:49 UTC

URL is broken and no steps to reproduce.

Meanwhile I am on Windows and use anti-aliased fonts all the time without problem.  We're entitled to close any bug which does not have steps to reproduce.
