Hi Thomas, I have noticed the same thing, which causes troubles when dealing with tables, especially when you have to resize a few cells. Not only the size of the text changes, but also the size of the lines. Using the mouse to resize is not easy when you work on a table. Perhaps it could be useful to do a bug report about that, if it hasn't been done already.
