Very pleased to see that the issue has been fixed! Version 2.97 has been released which displays the now playing bar to the right and improves real estate on the screen a bit. Don't know when it'll be ready for the precise etc repositories, but it's available on the webupd8 ppa by doing:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/rhythmbox and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Ton of other bug fixes done too it seems! :) Problem solved, guys! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811475 Title: Descender letters (g j p q y) get their tail cut off in current song Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Fix Committed Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: look at the current song in the screenshot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: rhythmbox 2.90.1~20110329-1ubuntu4 [modified: usr/share/doc/rhythmbox/changelog.Debian.gz] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-5.6-generic 3.0.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-5-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jul 16 12:19:58 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: rhythmbox UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-07-15 (0 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/811475/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
