I just did more testing and found that all the fonts in the UI->Browser "Fonts" selection exhibit this bolding phenomenon, EXCEPT the "Terminal" font.  Also, I verified that the same regular/bold phenomenon occurs in the View/Hide channels window as in the Signal Browser window.  (WinXP Pro/SP3)

Greetings,

This is more of a question than a bug report (I think).

I have noticed for a long time (perhaps ever since the original browser was implemented) that some lines of text in the browser are bold and some are not.  I find nothing in the documentation describing that "feature," have heard no discussion of it, and find no rational explanation.

Here is a screen shot from just now:



Sometimes the lines begin as regular and enbold at some point after a while (sometimes before the line starts scrolling, and sometimes well after), and sometimes they start enbolded from the beginning (e.g., the line at 14071.11).  I have never observed a line with part bold and part regular.  When a line suddenly enbolds, the whole line enbolds at once.

Can anyone explain this?  Is there quality of the received signal that this is indicating?

I'm running WinXP Pro/SP3, and the font chosen for the RX/TX text is 12-point Courier New.  I tried some other fonts for RX/TX text, but it made no change to the browser window, just the main window.
