I can assure you that's what I believed, expected, and still want to believe! And yet, supplying, at the same line of code, to the exact same view, an BitmapDrawable vs a NinePatchDrawable, produced dramatically different results.
You'll have to see a demo app to believe it. Hopefully, I'll just end up with egg on my face for even mentioning it prematurely, but it was hard to convince myself, too. Thanks for letting me know the other problem was fixed. Do you know offhand what versions it existed in, or should I go searching for the bug report? (Though it seems people have been rather lax about reporting just WHEN things were introduced and fixed. Since we seem to still have platforms stuck at 1.5, that becomes rather important information. Fortunately, my workaround is relatively innocuous). It took an awful lot to convince myself THAT bug was real, too.
