Simple Geometry problem with Scrolling Fields (8.1.4/8.1.3))

Post by GZoltan » Wed Jun 28, 2017 1:03 pm

Hi,
I'm new to LC, so please bear with me.
I have the following problem: I put on a mainstack two scrolling fields, one right next to the other (horizontally) and I would like to achieve the effect that when I resize the stack the two scrolling fields resize accordingly without the left one bumping into the right one. This is easily achievable on LC Community 7.1.3 using solely the Geometry Manager, but I cannot get the same working on 8.1.3 or 8.1.4.
I attached a stack which works as expected, but it was done in an older version of LC and opened then saved in 8.1.4 without altering the Geometry Manager config. If I only reattach/link the right scrolling field to the left one with the 'Left object' button in Geometry Manager then the left field will bump into the right one. So, it seems like the 'Left object' is simply not doing it's job and only in newer versions (at least in 8.1.3/8.1.4). Observed on Win10 and Linux.
Am I missing something or it is a bug in newer versions ?
Thanks.
Zoltan

It's a bug. I tested with version 9dp6 and I can't move the left edge of the field on the right!
