Scrollbars are still inconsistent though. In some locales they are not displayed, in some they do.

I went over all languages and could not see any problem in master.
The change is not merged in the beta2 branch. It's not possible to get to this case normally, since FirstBootPrompt is always started with 12pt font size, so it isn't a blocker for the release. If we keep merging everything in the beta2 branch there is no point in having a branch.

Replying to pulkomandy:

Walk me through this please:
- Font size is 12
- Start FBP from Tracker
- Issue reproducible
Am I missing something? Plus FWIW, shipping a "First Boot Prompt" screen with a visible UI glitch (which causes clipped text) would give a bad impression from the start. Personally I'd tolerate a UI glitch for an Alpha-level software, not Beta.

I could not reproduce it at font size 12, only 14. I guess the strings in beta2 branch are different and somehow trigger the bug then? In that case indeed it deserves fixing.
The problem is that the window is constrained in various ways to fit in 640x480 and when the buttons at the bottom are too large, they force the list view to be smaller than it is allowed to. My fix was to make the window larger at larger font sizes. But if now the text in the buttons is longer... well, even at size 12 it won't fit.
Is it just Greek? Or are there other languages to check?

Shifted text: Only Greek
Missing scrollbars: All non-Latin scripts, once one of these entries have been reached via arrow down button, if you go upwards, Latin ones are missing now as well.
