On my form, I have a column of lables that display tags, are 150x14 pixels, spaced 1 pixel apart vertically and set to slide vertically and grow & shrink in height. With just this on the form, the body does shrink in print preview. If I place any other element to the right of the first column, the body no longer shrinks. If I copy the entire column and place it to the right of the first column, then the body shrinks again. If I have one column with six labels to the left and a second colum with one label and directly below it, an empty label set to make up the space so the two columns are the same height with this empty label set to grow, shrink and slide, then the body shrinks again.
Confused? Me too. It seems that unless multiple columns of fields on a form are the same height to begin with, the body is unable to shrink.
I’m using Servoy 2.2rc2, Java 1.5.0_01, MSSQL Server 2000 SP3 on Windows 2000 Server.
