Is there a way to get it to just use the first instance it creates, rather than creating it, destroying it, and creating it again? The double creation is very expensive, since the object is so deeply nested. Obviously, if the draw of the sub-objects doesn't happen, it can't figure out how big it needs to be, so even if I could tell the difference between a "measurement" draw and a "real" draw it would do me no good to defer the draw until the "real" draw. > If you're subclassing, you can set itemsNeedMeasurement=true and call > invalidateProperties to force a re-measure and new width/height.

Naturally, I wouldn't have spent all this time on this if I didn't want to do it right, so ultimately I would like to get to the bottom of it. But for now it is patched to work acceptably, so if you don't have time, you don't have time. Thanks; Amy
