I had the same problem. But found that the fix was to use a mono typed
font. I had modified my font display for another font, and the window
sizes are dependent on being able to "assume" how large each text line
will be.

Change your font to "fixed" and it will work fine. It's not pretty,
but it works :-)

Someone also suggested "lucida mono" which I believe is a MS Windows
TTF (so your font server must be able to serve up ttf's).

Hope this helps,
