Hi,

I had a real simple one page document that had 6 or 7 lines of very
large text.  Some of them were overlapping for a shadown effect.  In
1.1.5 a few of the boxes weren't big enough for the text any more.  I
found that they all had a blank line at the beginning.  Deleting the
line fixed the problem.  Unfortunately without thinking, I saved over
the original so I can't check whether the line was originally there but
with a smaller font or something.
