Correction:
the current bubble width is 23 ems. The spec stated 18 ems, which was a value proposed initially, based on the original design which assumed a 12pt default font size for the title (120% of the default application font size). That value was then changed to 100% (10pt on the default installation) for the title and 80% for the body text. Hence the default em size is actually around 13.8 px for the 100dpi screen and default font settings, not 16 as it was assumed in the spec.

That's all quite confusing, I know. The bottom line is:
- the current width of the bubble is 23 ems
- the recommended new width is 28 ems
- the spec should be updated to reflect that.

Mirco, any chance you could include a screenshot of the bubble with 28 ems?
