possible bug caption IM 6.8.5.9 Q16

Post by fmw42 »

I know caption was just adjusted. So I ran some tests with my scripts and find some differences between versions. I cannot say for sure which is correct, but for the text I have tested the current result does not look optimal. Seems a bit too much padding?

Here are some simple tests over a number of IM versions.

If the current version is a reasonable compromise, it is OK. I just want to be sure.
