DirectCorrect is displaying highlighting several pixels too high in Pages 4.01. Underlining, for instance, looks like a strikethrough. Highlight text is rendered in a tiny font that doesn’t match the checked text and rendered well above the baseline. I have played with several settings, with no effect.

Suggestions? Things to check?

Bug in Pages. It returns the wrong positioning info to Spell Catcher (and all other input methods, for that matter).

Bug has been filed. But certainly not fixed.

There's nothing you can do except report it to Apple via their bugreporter (i.e. file a Radar).
