Hello David,

Nice to hear from you again :)

Xforms tends to do that when the box in which the text should go is
not tall enough. We had a tightening of the dialogs in 1.3, and some
people with unusual dpi settings see this problem. The person who
knows about that and may be able to help is Rob Lahaye.

It is not a problem of colors. The text is not there.

Rob, do you think it is possible to improve the situation a bit? Do
the fields mentioned by David have an unusual height?
