You did not see the complaint from myself and Martin?

This seems to be a rounding error. Martin made some comments about that.

Yes, I agree. But until then, a workaround is "freezing" the height of
inputboxes by modifying their Resize field from FL_RESIZE_ALL to
FL_RESIZE_X. You see, also for me 25 points is (just barely) enough, 
but it's the scaling that makes the box (some of the boxes) effectively 
a tiny bit lower -- enough to cause problems.

No. For me it is just Bottom and Headheight

I doubt it.
