field margins

[Éric Chatonet]

Hi Richard,

OS X - Rev 2.5.1

I tried a grid 10*10 pixels:
New table field with opaque, 3D, showFocusBorder, autoHilite and 
scrollbars set to false
borderWidth set to 1, fixedLineHeight set to true and textHeight set to 
10
Then tabstops set to "9,19" and margins set to "4,5,4,4"
This grid is perfect :-)
The tabstops trick allows to correct the width of the first column.
The margins trick allows to correct the height of the first row.
Sure that all that is a little bit odd ;-)

Best regards,
