Row label alignment flips between left and right while label size is being changed

[Anastasia Baryshnikova]

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Have a constant behavior for row labels while changing their size in the preferences.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

Open a matrix, go to View > Labels and increase the size of the label (the one next to the Keep fixed checkbox) by one.

Selected font: Courier

Example of a file with underscore characters: test_dataset3.txt

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

The row labels, by default aligned to the right, suddenly align to the left. Sometimes, if you keep changing the label size, they will flip back and forward a couple of times.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The labels should not move as you change their size.

COMMENTS

[Robert Leach]

I'm interested to see what happens with this issue after issue 323 has been closed, because the anti-aliasing may address this as a side-effect.

@abarysh, for testing purposes, could you edit this issue to add these details to your STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE section above:

1. Selected font
2. Link to the file containing the underscore labels (i.e. upload to the downloads page - if it isn't already there).

Description updated with the selected font and the link to a sample file with underscores.

Duplicate of #275.

[Robert Leach]

While it's 2 different actions causing the "flipping", the cause in the code is the same is this behavior in issue #275.
