Interesting...I'm working with formattedheight today too. I have a field placed under an image where it can't be seen. It slides down sometimes and moves everything below it down to accomodate. When I get the formattedheight of the group the controls are in, it returns the same number regardless of whether the field is under the image or below it.

Something's odd. LC 8.1.1.

Is 8 ignoring margins in calculating formattedHeight?

Placing a single line of text into a field, which is Helvitica Bold size 9,
and margins of 0,6,0,0, it manages to return a formattedHeight of 7 when
checking . . .

uhh . . . .

Am I missing something here?

This worked for years in 5/7 for years; now I am having to add the
topMargin explicitly, with timers (if the seconds > something then
breakpoint) to remember to take them back out.
