Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Gnome panel got one line bottom when login as Thai language.

Normally gnome panel should appear like this. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/4684288654_4e5b0083c9.jpg

When login as Thai it got one line bottom of panel. Like this http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4053/4684288848_1fe9f87360.jpg

I guess the problem is many level of Thai alphabet. Then I try to change to one level message. But nothing change http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4057/4683659773_e86f9c7c7e.jpg

As a background note that may or may not be related: Thai also has subscript vowels that happen not to occur in the Applications / Places / System menu names. There has been some controversy over whether the vertical space for those should be counted as part of a font's size or not, and that could conceivably be confusing things. For example if you write "ดูนี้" (4 layers of characters!) one font may say its size includes the height of "ดู" and another may count only the "ด" part.

I forget whether or how the upper two characters in นี้ are counted, but the "base" line of text (the equivalent of the height of x in English typography) is only as high as the ดน part.

For some reason those Thai characters don't render properly for me in Firefox. Here's a picture of what they should look like.

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME .I'm not familiar with the Thai language and would be better if you can send it upstream so you can also reply to the questions of the upstream developers, thanks.

As asked on the upstream bug, could someone using a Thai desktop test it with another theme? The suggestion is to use Clearlooks.

Thanks!
