Two line date label screenshot in FF 4.0 beta 5
Build : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100905 Firefox/4.0b6pre
For the ref URL, the date label is displayed on two lines instead of one in FF 3.6.
This issue is old as it has already existed in FF 4.0b1.

Hmm, testing against Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100906 Firefox/4.0b6pre ID:20100906041818 it's as expected.
You ruled out any Zoom Settings, yes?

With a new profile, the 4.0b5 build has the issue, the 4.0b6pre/20100906041818 has not.
I close the bug

About comment 3 : this was a side effect of bug 594025 (no more DirectWrite with Intel card).
It is a DirectWrite issue.

Are the font metrics with dwrite just slightly different?
Note that on my Mac, every single one of those date labels is on two lines; the site's code is just broken in terms of assuming particular font metrics.

The font appearance seems identical, except that font is blurry with DW.
To have this issue, the font should have been slightly larger with DW.
It is in contradiction with bug 594365 (smaller font with DW) which I can reproduce.
I installed MS hotfix KB2028560 for Win7 x64. After that, the issue is still there, including the blurry font.

DirectWrite, sadly, changes font metrics that can cause text layout to change. There's not much we can do about this.
