Hi BetoValle -

I can't replicate any issue here with PDR15.3929 or PDR17.

In both versions, the font size selected is accurate.

It looks to me like the titles have been resized after the font size wa selected - like in this screen capture - is that a possibility?

Cheers - Tony

In Pd17 tried to duplicate what you see as a bug. Using your exact title settings on your title, the newly added title of size 14 is highlighted and correct. Noticed that your line spacing is a negative instead of a positive number but it does not matter. See the attached. That was the first title of the 3 titles that was resized.

EDIT: Tony answered first and has the right answer.

Hi , see the video that show the bug
it is not at all times that it occurs, but
unfortunately it occurs, otherwise it would not be
doing this simulation.

Tried the teste.pds In both PD17 and then in PD15. In both cases the center one is title 1 and the top one is title 3 in Title Designer. You video state the opposite of this.

I went ahead and resized the title 1 (14 point) smaller to look like 14 point. Changed it to 36 pt. and then back to 14 point and the appearance looks correct.

I have not been able to reproduce the bug yet.

I checked here on PD365 I think title 3 may have been resized manually as ynotfish showed.
In this case it continues to show size 14 but is larger.
The way I see it is to create a new title, size 14 or copy / paste the title 1 XEON-E5-2680 v4 / Mem. 16GB DDR4
M.2 NVME 512Gb / 2-SSD Sata3 1TB
AMD RX570 / Display Philips 272V8
Windows 11_64Pro / PD22/365

After performing more tests, I realized that powerdirector works with sizes
due to the size of the created window for the title and this makes a difference.
As I'm not accustomed to frequently now I see the difference / So it is not a bug and
yes the size compared to the window.

Thanks for the posts that helped me understand the powerdirector operation.
