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"}}

    Thanks so much for this!  10.1 hasn't hit my Creative Cloud yet, but as soon as it does, I'll give it a go!  Much appreciated!

    Try out 10.1, released yesterday, and see if the fields look better.

    I've dug a bit more into this, and the issue is not restricted to the Title field.  I certainly can't say I've tried ALL fields, but any text field I've tried shows this issue.  For example, the Caption field is built in to show 5 lines, but if one enters a Caption that spans more than 5 lines, the last line will not display.  I've  also tried a number of other fields, with the same result.

    I am able to reproduce this consistently.  For me, what occurs is that after initially entering a multi-line Title and hitting Return, LrC correctly displays the entire Title.  However, if one deselects that image and later returns to that image, LrC fails to display the last line (e.g., if the Title as entered required 3 lines to display fully, after reselecting the image only 2 of the 3 lines will display.

    See this video below for examples

    The video was made with all 3rd party plugins disabled and with a new, virgin catalog.

    I also tried changing the font size in Preferences->Interface from Small to Large and back again (restarting LR each time) and the problem persisted no matter which font size was selected.

    My configuration

    I was able to provoke a glitch on LR 10 / Windows by starting with "Robert in backyard, Nara (with his stuffed" and then adding one non-space at a time and slowly sliding the panel width back and forth:

    I could reproduce it by changing the width of the panel.

    Note that the first four screenshots are from built-in tagsets of the Metadata panel and don't involve the SDK.

    And I now see the bug with your sample text, "Looking up columns under artificial light toward vaulted archways".  With other multi-line text, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
