I found that the related file used in the portal had three records which
contained nothing in the two fields that were used in the portal thus
causing the apparent non sliding effect. As there are a lot of fields in
that file I didn't pick the empty fields, unfortunately they were the
ones I used in the portal.
Gee, that took me a while to realise.

IIRC, portals are not designed to slide, which it sounds like you have
confirmed with your testing. :(

I've stumbled onto a problem which I haven't had before. A simple
list of text fields across a page which has a small portal for
containing two fields only. The report will slide up without a
problem until I place the portal on the layout. All the sliding up
boxes are ticked appropriately for all fields as well as the portal.
I also have all text aligned at the top of each field with no
success. I've checked and there is nothing else on the layout in the
'body' and there is no footer. I must be missing something. I built
3 more layouts using different fields as test layouts and none of
them will allow any portal to slide up either.
