Popup and text-scale-decrease/increase

[guancio]

I've some problem related to menu alignment whenever I change the buffer "zoom" exploting text-scale-decrease

[m2ym]

• The font is proportional?
• What OS do you use?

This report seems to be old, but since I possibly experience the same phenomenon, here two screen shots (obtained with autocomplete 1.5.0 and ESS):

1. font size decreased with C-x C--

2. Font size increased above with C-x C-=

@m2ym Hate to bump an old issue, but I've experienced this as well and it's rather annoying when writing a lot of code whilst zoomed in. Output of describe-font is:

name (opened by): -*-Menlo-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
       full name: Menlo:pixelsize=12:weight=normal:slant=normal:width=normal:spacing=100:scalable=true

I'm also using Mac OS X 10.12.5. Let me know if you need more info or whatnot.

@m2ym Any thoughts on this bug?

@m2ym I would like to reinforce the necessity of solving this old issue. It is still present whenever I zoom in or out, which is too much of a basic functionality to make popup.el really usable.

@m2ym It seems that this issue does not occur with company-mode... do you think that this issue could be fixed by using something from there?

This is a pretty outstanding issue to anyone who uses auto-complete while zoomed in and, as far as I can tell, it can only be alleviated by increasing the window's size in the frame.

@m2ym Could you please offer some advice on resolving this issue? Even looking through popup's codebase is quite difficult since there is almost no documentation.

This is really very annoying and I am seriously considering moving to company-mode. I don't want to do that since my Emacs setup is quite dependent on popup and auto-complete, but I won't have much choice if this issue cannot go away.
