It looks like setting opaqueBackground on a Label used as an itemRenderer causes the item text to be cut off when the item is mid-scroll (at the end of the grid). This does not happen when opaqueBackground is not set.
Small example: <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{[ foo, bar, baz, quux ]}" height="90"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="category"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:Label opaqueBackground="0xFF0000"/> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:DataGridColumn> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="category"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> Anyone run into this? -Maciek
