Measure Tool annoyance

Minor annoyance, but does anyone else's Measure tool popup have this formatting error?

Are you talking about the spacing of the controls?

  See how the [?] button and [X] in the top right are slightly cut off at the bottom? Looks like the blue title bar and gray control bars are too close together.

you're right, that doesnt quite look right. i have personally never seen that one before.

here's the correct appearance just for reference on this thread:

what version of solidworks are you running?

    are you using the solidworks recommended graphics card driver?

      Just got it,
      
      the pic of Anthony Macke's measure tool made me wonder if I had the windows transparency effects turned off. I did. Reset windows personalization to an Aero theme and the solidworks measure tool looks correct again.
      
      Thanks everyone!
