But also, based on what you say, the issue with the buttons disappearing on the brush palette when you start playing around with resizing the palette could also be part of a text issue, couldn't it? That is, if (and I stand to be corrected) the buttons are actually just text with a border and also produced by the original text coding operation implemented by a widget, then that would narrow down what does seem to be a separate issue to just the one text issue reported by and several others.

I'm still perplexed by the fact that several people report that specific text problem and others don't seem to have it at all but have other problems. But a bit more consideration on my part might have helped me to take a less compartmentalized view of the situation. I don't know much at all about programming and so I guess my thought processes just divided up the different text situations into different operations creating different issues that might be able to be solved individually. And I notice that you didn't have adverse comments about the pushy advertising so assume that either you, like me, didn't see it as a bug but a marketing ploy, or perhaps you - again like me - don't even actually get all the pushy stuff that others have reported. That said, it is good to have it clarified that you only have one issue, albeit not necessarily the same one that all others with your operating system have. But seeing it from your perspective I can see that if a fix was made to return text to the menu items, for example, it would return it to dialogue boxes and the navigation screen so that would make it one issue only, so your perspective would be the correct one to take.

So I guess I made the assumption that perhaps the worst aspects could be fixed independently. Perhaps it's a lack of my programming savvy but I kind of thought that stuff written on menus would be a different operation from stuff on dialogue boxes and particularly on the splash screen which is more of an advert than a program necessity. Having the first two fixed would be important, the third one not so much because it wouldn't affect using the program. Having some text missing from the splash screen would be another issue, quite minor as you yourself pointed out. Having text missing from a Selection dialogue box (like File Format Associations in your screenshot) would be another issue, also serious. To me (but not to you now that I read this post of yours) having text missing from a menu or directory (like the Navigation screen) seemed like one issue, and serious. Guess it's just a matter of interpretation.
