I tried the recipe from your previous message. I got the same results as 
you did until I clicked into the field. After the field received the 
focus, the formattedheight suddenly adjusted itself correctly. So it 
looks like the field has to get the focus before all its properties are 
fully recognized.

I guess you could call it a bug. Scripting a "focus on fld 1" into your 
handler might work around it, but I didn't try it.

I'm not sure it is exactly a bug, because I can see an argument for 
having it work either way. But I think you should report both of them.
