Re: [racket-dev] racket/gui checkbox clips text
Thanks for looking into this. It still happens here and I haven't managed to narrow it down any more than my initial report. i.e. Windows, 5.3.6+ and increased DPI. I've also tried changing Windows font settings such as ClearType and the Smooth edges of screen fonts option, but they don't solve the issue. I'll keep investigating though and let you know if I find out any more.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replicate the problem on either Windows 7 machine that I tried. Is there possibly some other configuration that's needed to provoke the error, such as a font change?
