Hmm, I have missed that email. When anyone is sending an email about
Tor Browser to the mailing list, feel free to CC me to make sure
I see the message.

Over the past year or so, this has been reported to me multiple times
(in private). So it seems to be a problem that affects more people.
I have spent some time debugging it but I didn't get very far,
in part because I don't really know what to look for.

In the past I have been able to reproduce it, but funnily enough, the
File Chooser window looks fine on the one computer I have with me
right now (with both Tor Browser 14.5.7 and 15.0a3). Interesting... I'll
see if I can look into it a bit more soon.

I didn't know that it might have something to do with pango so that's
a useful bit of new information for me, thanks.
