The issue with the field "infos" is a result of putting multiple lines 
into a fixed height which does not accommodate them on all platforms or 
all users' machines. The suggested method allows for automatic 
adjustment according to the needs of the user's platform and whatever 
individual settings that user may prefer. This includes possibilities 
you could never predict or test for, and things you really should be 
careful about forcing on the user such as font and text size. It is not 
a significant alteration of your layout and on my Linux and Windows 7 
setups is definitely an improvement. Did you try it on your Mac?

More than one way? Sure. Maybe we can learn something from all the 
thought that's been put into displaying content in web browsers.
