Problem with the formattedWidth

[Ralph DiMola]

I have seen something like this in my mobile resizing library and have not
been able to put my finger on it. I think you're getting closer to nailing a
recipe for this one.

Subject: Problem with the formattedWidth

While testing out the solution for right justifying a column in a table (in
another thread), I've come across a problem with the formattedWidth of a
field

It appears that the formattedwidth doesn't always get updated when a new
value is entered into a field.  I typed something into a field, then used
the message box to get its formatted width.  Then typed a shorter string of
characters into the field, got the formattedwidth again, and it was the same
as for the previous text value in the field.  I haven't 100% verified yet,
but it appears that if the new string is longer than the previous string,
then the formatted width is reported correctly but if the new string is
shorter than the old string, it is reported incorrectly.

This is with LC 5.5.0.  Anyone else seeing this?
