Wonder if it’s displaying differently on my system?
As text zooms, it first jumps left, then right, then back to centre. Would it help if I try and make a video so you can see what I’m seeing?
Almost forgot to mention:
Thanks for giving me a chuckle 
Yes please, greatly appreciated.
At some point, hopefully before 16.04, Welcome will be migrating to WebKit2 - mainly for security reasons, but will be a lot smoother with hardware acceleration. Technically, WebKit in use right now shows 3D animations as 2D… just leave the main menu open for one minute. (
;))
Video is ready. Recorded at 60fps, slowed to 25% to make it easier to see what I’m seeing.

Nothing to worry about, that’s how the animation does its thing, but I like your observation. It will be a lot smoother when the port to WebKit2 commences.
Good to hear. I was expecting content should smooth zoom from near window centre to fill left side. As if (software) information was being retrieved from a great distance (Internet). Thank you for your feedback.
Hi @lah7,
that other thread is what I meant as it is evident that there are a few things to change and rather than wait for one of the translators to find something they don’t understand, I can read through all the sections and change them to what I perceive as being correct, I did notice a couple myself but could interpret what was being said!.
Ideally a global post to all translators to make them aware that they will need to re-check their translations over the next coming week should be placed on the forum!. 
I will get right on it.
I hope that this is okay with you and @Wimpy?.
@wolfman, that’s fine by me. @Wimpy is also aware of all the grammar correcting going on. 
Bare in mind the deadline for translations inclusion in 16.04 is 07 April 2016, so ideally as soon as possible. Those translating via Transifex should receive e-mail notifications when new strings need (re-)translating. I’d prefer we kept that to a minimum, and make one final change in all one go.
No problem Luke, I am looking through the lists in my German translations and making a note of the possible changes needed and noting the section number so you know exactly where to go. I have found 4 thus far and will note the others as I find them because I am still correcting my own errors in the German lists anyway!.
I will make sure that there is time to spare for the final inclusion date and that the other translators have enough time to do their corrections too!.

That sounds easy enough. I originally thought of scroll bars or ellipsis.

Just wanted to add a compliment, really like the way you’ve overcome the System Specifications layout issue. Well done!
@lah7 Currently testing clean install of beta 2, appears an older version of Welcome has been installed by Software Updater, overwriting the newer Welcome version containing all fixes supplied with beta 2?
Upon waking, had a sudden realisation, I had mistakenly compared Ubuntu MATE 16.04 beta 1 (with subscribed Welcome updates), with a clean beta 2 install + system updates (but without Welcome update subscription), sorry about that!
Raises one question though…
Why is it necessary to subscribe to Welcome updates, instead of receiving Welcome improvements/fixes by default?
It’s entirely optional, it ensures you have up-to-date documentation, translations (for non-English users) and software listings for the Software Boutique. It’s much quicker for @Wimpy to push updates to a dedicated PPA than submitting a request to upstream Ubuntu for approval/uploading.
Of course, new versions will be pushed via normal updates, but not very often.
Sorry, I nearly missed this! I’ll note this down and see how Welcome can respect font sizes like the rest of the system.
Thank you for your reply.
Having already found the benefits, and seeing both yours and Wimpy’s great improvements, my question meant to imply… Wondered why it’s ‘opt in’, rather than ‘opt out’.
With the current implementation, many may miss the welcome (no pun intended) Software Boutique and Welcome updates, additions and improvements?
Thanks again.
So we need look no further than the welcome screen for our PPAs? I did not know this, but I do know I like it
Well, being an official flavour, there’s bound to be some regulations. Adding a PPA by default or silently would be considered suspicious.
I just realised I misread your original question. 
If you find certain software that usually requires a PPA (like Google Chrome), then yes! A wide range of software installs the latest packages from the developer (via PPA or source list), instead of using the (sometimes behind) version from Ubuntu’s repositories.
Thanks and really nice having the chrome one button installer, rates right up there with slice bread
Thanks that would be great!
Success! Welcome now scales based on the font DPI. You won’t be needing a magnify glass any more. 
Hello again folks. Those who like transparency and control over what is installed on their system will be pleased to see this new field for each application:
