OK,

I just installed 8.6b1.1 on an XP box. Testing there shows that it's
not a Win 7 problem - XP shows exactly the same issues. However,
testing with different fonts provide some interesting info...

At first blush, it appears to be a problem only when using monospaced
fonts (Consolas, Courier, etc). So far, every monospaced font I've
tested shows the problem. In addition, the typical Windows proportional
fonts (Tahoma, Verdana, etc) seem to be OK.

I'll update the ticket with this info sometime this morning.

Jeff
