screenshot showing a clipped label

This screenshot shows a GtkLabel with italic text that is being clipped because the ink rectangle extends the logical rectangle.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-05-08 00:04:45 UTC 
So, how can a widget tell gtk+ that it needs to paint outside its allocation?
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-05-08 00:07:35 UTC 
Sorry, not my fault.

Comment 5 Bjoern Voigt 2007-07-27 20:17:39 UTC 
Is this bug platform depended? My bug #460965 (duplicate of this bug) only occurs on win32.
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-07-27 20:22:14 UTC 
It depends on the font.  The 'W' glyph in the font you are seeing has negative left-bearing.  Any glyph with ink outside the logical glyph box will have the same problem.
Comment 7 Bjoern Voigt 2007-07-27 23:46:28 UTC 
I tested the problem with GTK+ 2.10.7 (from gtk-runtime from Pidgin project - http://pidgin.im/) and with GTK+ 2.10.13 (from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html). The glyph "W" is only clipped for GTK+ 2.10.7. But on the screenshots it's easily to see that both packages use different themes and probably different fonts. So I also believe that the problem is not already solved but it only occurs for some fonts.

Comment 10 Sven Neumann 2007-07-29 10:54:57 UTC 
The problem still shows up in GTK+ version 2.10.13 here (Linux, Debian Sid, Clearlooks theme).
