Exactly, 1 px height would cause an unexpected state in an app which announces a minimal height for a reason. The special height handling is the major reason why developers are so reluctant to implement shading. In the end, the world splits in two groups: One group says: shading is such a nice feature, that is worth the conditional code to implement. You will find all the old fars in this group (like me), that will stick to X as long as it's possible. The other group says, this will add some ugly conditional code in an important area, that we need to carry around until some other technology emerge. All developers, responsible of this code are in this group. As long as there is no overlap between these groups, nothing will happen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
