Hi,
My environment is: NetBeans 8.0.1 + Glassfish 3.1.2.2 +
JSF 2.1 + Richfaces 4.3.7 + CDI/Weld 1.1.8 (original) + Apache CODI 1.0.6 + JPA 2 + Hibernate 4.2.7 + RDBMS Firebird 2.5.2 + JasperReports 5.5.
Yesterday, I started tests after changing the original javax.faces.jar 2.1.6 that comes with Glassfish to the new 2.1.29 downloaded.
Then, the h:outputText labels from my webapp becames bigger.
All other components become exactly the same size.
Below sample attachments from the "old 2.1.6 page" and "new 2.1.29 page" in Firefox 33 and Chrome 39. Same behaviour in IE too.
Using Chrome, the difference in outputText is more visible.
The only change in my project was javax.faces.jar file.
