P: Truncated fields and font glitches in Metadata panel

The Metadata panel has some glitches in LR 10 / Mac OS 10.15.5 with the new fonts:

 

 
And some fields don't display their last line (off by one error?):
 
To reproduce this, try changing the width of the panel.
 
 
About the fonts in LR 10, the Lightroom Queen wrote: "[T]he font has been updated throughout the app, to use Adobe’s newly standards. While many formatting issues have already been identified and fixed, you might still find a few odd gremlins or spacing issues."
 
 
Here's another example, with a custom metadata tagset:
 
Here's the definition of that tagset:
return {title = "Any Vision",id = 'anyvision',items = {
     {"com.johnrellis.anyvision.labels", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.landmarks", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.locations", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.map"},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.logos", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.faces", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.text", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.safeSearch", height_in_lines = -1},"com.johnrellis.anyvision.dominantColor","com.adobe.separator",{"com.adobe.caption", height_in_lines = -1},"com.adobe.GPS"}}

Updates to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products for Desktop, Mobile and Web were released today and contain a fix for this issue.

Please refresh your Creative Cloud application and install your update when it becomes available. Thank you for your patience.

As a palliative to the display bug (which is present on both Mac and Windows, though in different circumstances), you can make the left and right columns arbitrarily wide by holding down Opt while dragging the vertical column divider.  (On Windows, you need to make a small edit to TranslatedStrings.txt to enable this.)

@robert_somrak   Yes I am using a Mac Catalina OS. Latest Lightroom Classic.

John Ellis (see above) has documented the same issue in Windows.

Are you using  Windows?  I think it is a Mac only issue.

Odd, as I do not experience problems with the Description field and I often have very long descriptions.

@steve_swayne The description field also behaves the same - it truncated the last line. So most of the fields truncate the last line, if not all.

I have exactly the same issue with MacOS Catalina, latest Lightroom Classic. It seems to be a long standing issue. Very disappointing that such a simple interface issue has not been resolved before now. All Adobe needs to do is make the code for Filename and Title fields the same as the code for the Description field, which behaves properly. This is not rocket science, just a lack of adequate task management by those in charge.
