I discovered that the problem is a bug (feature???) in
xforms: fl_add_input cannot display text higher that its height. So, when
I changed dpi in my screen, the default font -*-helvetica-medium-r became
bigger than the minibuffer. Changing from helvetica to lucida (which is
smaller), for instance, solves the problem.
In case somebody else reproduced this bug, and you find it is worth fixing
it (keeping in mind that the xforms frontend is broken with 100 dpi
anyway, because some forms don't have place for bigger fonts) I provide
the patch against 1.2.1cvs below. The original minibuffer was 25 and I
changed it to 28 - the minimun to allow displaying of the default font, at
least in my system. Maybe with other fonts/xservers this value will not be
sufficient?
Regards,
Joćo.
