The only thing I did was to read from an external file using "revCreateXMLTreeFromFile". Nothing else. I think...

The strange story goes on... After I copied my scripts over to the new created stack, the autosizing feature stops working again!!! :shock: But I dont implement any resizing handlers. Why it stops working??? So I removed handlers one by one and checked when the autoresizing feature comes back. Then ...
