Sometimes normal height, tiny width (that's what prompted the 
original bug report).  Sometimes both weird height and weird 
width.  I don't think I've seen a normal width with a weird height 
but I might be misremembering.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean 
it
is.  If you don't, it's its.  Then too, it's hers.  It isn't 
her's.  It
isn't our's either.  It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.
