Yes, I have fixed it along with another bug but my fix hasn't been integrated yet. padding slipped by unnoticed because there's an error lock on when you set the properties and it is documented as a field property. Unfortunately there's a far more sinister issue with label, tooltip, stack title and button text. These are the properties that will return unicode variants if their value is non-ascii. Unfortunately there was an error with the code and even when ascii they are returning unicode.. Because null is not represented as a square box or anything in livecode fields it looks right when you put the value into a field and the only way you can work out there is an issue is with the length function. Both of these are fixed and should I hope be soon seen in a 6.1.1 release.
