Textsize of label of copied btn changes

[ELS Prothero]

Richard,
Yes, I realize that. However, when I first created the button, on the source card, I expected that the text size and font would be what was displayed in the ide. However, none were actually set. Confusing for one who trusts that the ide displays the actual properties of the object.

Best,
Bill
