tooltips text misaligned
I'm finding (and reading about others' difficulties with) various visually misaligned elements within RR. Most of them can be fudged around. However, I'm wrestling with why the vertical alignment of the text within tooltips is off (it's shifted downward rather than being centered within the box). Just another thing that looks unprofessional. But, this one I don't know if I can fudge to fix.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bill

I've double-checked the tooltips in XP and OS X, and Bill's correct: using the native APIs renders the text vertically centered within the box, but Rev's tooltops render the text about two pixels too low.
Should be an easy fix. I just added one vote for it.
Bill, you might consider voting for it yourself.

This business of text being shifted downward a couple of pix is pervasive throughout the RR IDE as well as the default controls we have to use. This is one of the first things I noticed which caused me to pause as to whether or not this thing was truly professional. To be honest, the jury is still out IMO. I keep running into more and more issues every day...
Anyway, would be nice to see RR really clean up the IDE. I gather most folks here have just become accustomed to the oddities. However, it can be a big turn-off for first-timers.
