Same problem observed in CustomControls example.

I think the intent is to show the font that is selected, similar to the two lines above that show the selected foreground and background colours, so this seems fine.  However it does look bad when a large font is chosen, because the item height remains unchanged, and as a result the text can appear clipped on the bottom.

Car do you think it's worth adding a MeasureItem listener to the Table whenever a larger font is selected, so that the Table item height can be increased to fit the larger item text?  Of course the downside with this is that if the user then reduced the font size then the Table item height could not be decreased back as well.  Or, any other ideas?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
