Question

Metadata panel: metadata fields not displayed correctly

I would like to report some bugs in the "Metadata" window/panel (Windows).
As far as I can tell this was introduced in the latest version of Bridge (15.0.0.397) (never seen this before now).
 
As can be seen in the examples below, some fields gets way to large (high)  or to small (only a single line).
Also, sometimes there are large areas of unused pace.
 
In the examples below I have undocked the "Metadata" window to make it a bit larger (when docked the behavior is the same, but more difficult to observe).
 
See screendumps below:

4-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy)-again.jpg
5-Open-IPTC-Core.jpg
6-Open-IPTC-Core-again.jpg
7-very-large-Keywords-field.jpg
 
A similar problem has been reported here:
 
- Start Bridge
- Enable all properties in "File Properties", "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" and "IPTC Core"
- "Window -> Metadata (open the metadata window)
- Select an image with metadata
- All sections are visible but closed  ->  see "1-All-sections-visible-but-closed.jpg"
- Open "File Properties"
- Looks OK  ->  "2-Open-File-Preperties.jpg"
 
- Open "IPTC (IIM, legacy)"  ->  see "3-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy).jpg"
- * NOTICE a multiline title in "Document Title" gets only a single line displayed 
- * NOTICE the "Keywords" field is only a single line
- * NOTICE the big gap after "Keywords"
 
- Close "IPTC (IIM, legacy)"
- Open "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" again  ->  see "4-Open-IPTC-(IIM-legacy)-again.jpg"
- * NOTICE the very large "Keywords" field
 
- Close "IPTC (IIM, legacy)" again
- Open "IPTC Core"  ->  see "5-Open-IPTC-Core.jpg"
- * NOTICE the big gap after "Description"
 
- Close "IPTC Core"
- Open "IPTC Core" again  ->  see "6-Open-IPTC-Core-again.jpg"
- * NOTICE the very large "Description" field
- * NOTICE also the very large "Keywords" field  ->  see "7-very-large-Keywords-field.jpg"
- and so on ...
 
This makes it very difficult/cumbersome to work with metadata in the new Bridge (used to be great).
 
- Bridge version 15.0.0.397
- Windows 11 version 23H2 (22631, 4460)
