Text Field in LC 7

[Peter Haworth]

I too got scared off the Geometry Manager from posts on this list and
rolled my own.

I'm a big fan of modTableField but I must admit I've never resized one,
except when first setting it up.  I wonder if there's more going on than
with a normal resize, for example, widening columns as well as the table
itself?  If so, then that would certainly affect performance.  On the other
hand, we've seen pretty much the same issues in a straightforward scrolling
field.
