Hey all
Before I report anything to a tracker, I may ask whether it was an intentional change. Up until 0.48, the label text of any gui widgets (sliders, etc.) appeared above the front. Since 0.48, the front covers the label text, changing the appearance of patches that have overlapping front and label.
