Hi Jeremias, Not to rain on your parade, but doesn't there need to be a vote on fop-dev by committers on the release before bringing it to the PMC? Also doesn't a formal vote need to run at least one full week? I understand your desire to get the release out but... Jeremias Maerki

Right, it looks like I wrote the checks and some of the code in terms of the containing reference area, not the containing box. It's probably best to disable the warnings for now and to look at how to fix the behaviour after the release, because it looks like a potentially bigger problem. The size
