I am seeing similar behavior on the <Family> tab on 7.0.109 under Windows XP SP2, so 7.4 is not the culprit here.
I think it is that I have a new monitor that has a higher resolution, and the "issue" appears when the resolution is set higher than 1280x1024, and the legacy window was closed and re-opens in a size larger than 1280x1024. Clicking the <Pedigree> then back to <Family> causes Legacy to recalculate the row height and the fonts fit fine. Also grabbing a side edge of the legacy window and sweeping it back and forth will also cause the popup boxes to recalculate the row height. -Christian R.

I think that Legacy is configured in the [Options][Fonts] to "stretch fonts when resizing". In this mode, the height of the font is calculated based on the height of the Legacy Window. So, as the window is made taller or shorter, the font size changes, but the program does not recalculate the height of the rows in the pop-up boxes (in the family tab). So a tall window will have font that is too large for the rows, and are clipped horizontally; and short windows will have small font within the unchanging row size. The legacy programmers need to revisit the logic that recalculates the logic of row height in the popups on window height change (I believe). The work around that I found was to click on the <Pedigree> tab, then click back on the <Family> tab. It seems that the logic to resize the popup row height is executed on the refresh of the <Family> tab. -Christian R. - Charlottesville VA Windows 7 64-bit; 1920x1200 resolution.
