%%%See video:

- Operating System, Graphics card ---

Windows 7, 64bit; Intel HD 3000

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

r53703, but not in <r52553

- Short description of error ---

As soon as I hover the Text editor's side panel (Ctrl+F), it changes scale of the UI elements (scales a bit down). Only happens on the very first time hovered and if Blender window isn't maximized.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Run blender
Go to Scripting view
Ctrl+F in Text editor area
Hover side panel with mouse%%%

%%%We are in svn r54785 already, so you should check the official 2.66 release from blender.org first.

For me, it works all fine.%%%

%%%If you received this report as email, your mail client might haven't shown the > (greater than), i actually tested several versions and the problem exists for me in all revisions i tried from r53703 on (not in r52553, so introduced somewhere in between) - also tested 2.66 official!

Did some further testing and turned out, that it somehow related to the font size / dpi settings and window size:

if i scale blender window down and open that side panel, text is really small, unlike in other panels!
If i scale it up after that, it stays that tiny!

so the size change on first redraw only occurs at a certain window size, for me it has to be 1600x900 (not maximized). If i make the window a little smaller and open the side panel then, text size stays the same. But if i make it really small, text size becomes smaller too!

See attched GIF animation for size change on first redraw, and screenshot collage for window size relating to text size.%%%

%%%It's always best to stick official release builds for tests like this. Just to be sure we have exactly the same binaries.
Also check it with "factory settings" start, and open a text editor to see how it behaves.

If you then can get this error, save it as a .blend (and load to check if it has error still) and attach that here.

Whatever I try here (OSX iMac), the search panel button and font size stays perfectly the same, on any window size. Only when you make it totally tiny (320 pix) it just disappears for smaller text editors.

The trick is to find a way that others can redo this :) I doubt this is windows related, it's something you have saved in your user config maybe? Just try with factory settings to verify that.

%%%Well, i tested several binaries:

blender-2.64-r52553-mingw64 - doesn't have this issue
blender-2.65-r53703-win32 - re-scales
blender-2.65-r53787-win64 - too
blender-2.65-r54287-win64 - too
blender-2.65-r54595-win64 - too
blender-2.66-r54697-win64 - too with latest stable binary

2.66 is the first blender version with 2.66 user dir, post-2.54-official bins i tried used 2.65 user dir. So at least 2.66 had no custom user settings, and if i load factory settings, the re-scaling happens every time i load these settings (without restarting blender).

See attached images ("Bug different sizes"), these are taken after loading factory settings with 2.66 official binary on windows os.%%%

%%%tested on a completely different system now, Windows XP, portable zip 2.66, no blender on that machine before -> also occurs here, but only at certain window size!

I believe i found what this relates to: the scrollbar of the text editor side panel!!!

In attached picture "Bug different sizes 3.png", you see the scrollbar of the panel. I need to scale window height so that scrollbar is visible but only scrolls the content by 1-2 pixels. Then I reloaded the factory settings and went to Scripting screen again ("Bug different sizes 4.png"). Note: no scrollbar! As soon as i cause a redraw by hovering the panel props, the down-scaling occurs ("Bug different sizes 5.png"), still no scrollbar.

It's a little tricky to get the exact window size, but if you got that, then I can reproduce this reliably even on a different machine with different screen resolution and aspect.%%%

%%%Im able to "reproduce" using: blender-2.66-r54984-win32

screen resolution: 1366*768

1.'factory reset'
2.'Default Screen Layout'
3.Replace the 'Outliner' with 'Text Editor'
(Now, for the "re-scaling" effect to happen, the 'Text editor' window need to be small enough for a scrollbar to appear when pressing 'ctrl-f')
4. Depending on screen resolution: make the 'Properties' window taller/'Text Editor' smaller.
5.Press 'ctrl-f' and move the cursor to the panel that popped up to see this "re-scaling" effect.

Like Sebastian is saying, I belive that the panel is unaware of the scrollbar until hovering the cursor over it?
