Well, I've never said it was the only one. But it's the one which appears as
default with a clean install of jessie for some desktops (and I don't have
tested all clean install desktop possibilities :)

From the table you collected seems there's font sizes which are more
affected than others. That's not much, I know.

I've been able to reproduce the problem in sid, so I'm wondering if that
could be also present on wheezy but it was never noticed?
Having the same table for it could be interesting.

I've also looked at how geany editor does printing¹ and seems there's not
much differences with Claws Mail², or at least not that I can see :(

I've tried to add some initializations (wrapping, ellipsizing) but the
problem still appears when printing. Curiously enough the problem does not
appear when previewing, which makes it even more weird. Any idea is welcome.

best regards,
