[racket-dev] racket/gui checkbox clips text

Thanks for looking into this. It still happens here and I haven't managed
to narrow it down any more than my initial report. i.e. Windows, 5.3.6+ and
increased DPI.

I've also tried changing Windows font settings such as ClearType and the
"Smooth edges of screen fonts" option, but they don't solve the issue.

I'll keep investigating though and let you know if I find out any more.

Thanks

Thanks for the report! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to replicate
the problem on either Windows 7 machine that I tried.

Is there possibly some other configuration that's needed to provoke the
error, such as a font change?
