Openbox Configuration Manager - Windows title font

[Pierre Gobin]

Actually, on a fresh install, my titles (for active and inactive 
windows) are as the title of the inactive window on my screenshot. My 
problem is that I am not able to recover the same appearance anymore as 
soon as I modified the font.

For example, I just opened the dialog box to modify the font for 
inactive windows, and only by validate the defaut choice without change 
(Ubuntu Medium), my inactive windows font changes and is now the same 
font as active windows one : http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1376253581.png

I know it is not a very important bug, but I find this behavior a bit weird.

Regards,
Pierre Gobin
