Betsy,
Unfortunately, carrying user settings from version to version was one of the
major defects in Release Candidate 1.
Of course, you shouldn't have to set any particular font size to get a
decent braille display, but that's been a longstanding issue and one that
would be tricky to resolve. So we've not endeavored to tackle it just now.
(But we surely didn't intend to make things worse.)

Caryn,
I never thought to check that the font size settings were carried over. Of
course when I set them back to 8 all is well. I was amazed that one of the
settings was 18 .
