[iyonix-support] Another filer bug?

I've found another minor bug in the RISC OS 5.12 filer (I can't remember it
being present in 5.11).

If you change the desktop font size to anything smaller than 12pt (I've set
mine to 7pt), then click MENU over a file in a directory window, the
resulting Filer menu is positioned too far to the left, which sometimes
results in the Display or File '' sub-menu opening automatically.

I suspect something is trying to calculate the centre position for the menu
but failing when smaller font sizes are in use.

To change the desktop font size, I've been using my !Misc Setup plugin
(www.vigay.com/software/miscsetup.html) but you can also use the

*Set Wimp$FontSize 112

command.

112 is pt size * 16 - ie. I've got a 7pt size.

Thought I'd point it out in case there's time to squeeze a fix into ROS 5.13

:-)
