I have opened this bug on qbrz.
There have been several responses to my query about this which mention
processing of fonts related to buttons added to the title bar.
I don't think I ever reported that I tried removing all title-bar buttons
except the two built in items at top left (iconize) and top right
(resize), neither of

Thanks to the people who have continued commenting on this, possibly
because they had not yet got to my message saying I had by-passed the
problem by abandoning title-bars in ctwm, and adding extra functionaliy
using function keys.
That decision now works well on a relatively small laptop

I haven't delved deeper into the issue, but I've noticed strange goings on with
bitmap
Hi,
It is probably due to the font used in title.
The matched font is not the same between the 2 versions of your system,
or perhaps it changed a little.
