Bug Description

Binary package hint: notify-osd

I installed from the beta cd. My last update was about a week ago and I install the updates today. When I rebooted the size of notifications became very small.

The cause of this was found by SnailCZ on the forums:

Update:
I found solution.
Set your application font-size to something that's not using a fractional part. For example if you have set your main
application font-size to 7.5 set it to either 7.0 or 8.0

This bug was fixed in the package notify-osd - 0.9.25-0ubuntu1

---------------
notify-osd (0.9.25-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - conditional refresh of blurred tiles, prevent regeneration of
      tiles if title, body, icon or value didn't change
    - font-sizes with fractional parts don't cause bubble to become tiny anymore
      (fixes LP: #396736, LP: #457655, LP: #458413, LP: #459290, LP: #459689)
    - all but drop-shadow use the faster exponential blur now
