New field in v5.5 - table vertical lines start a few pixels

Post by andyh1234 » Tue Mar 27, 2012 5:58 pm

Hi,

Just been on a long vacation, when I left 5.0 was the current version, now I have 5.5!

Anyway, I've noticed when I open an app in 5.0, any text fields with tabstops in them and vertical lines start drawing the lines right from the top of the field, but if I open in 5.5 they start a few pixels down.

Its a little odd looking, especially when there are a couple of fields stacked above each other as Id like the lines just to run through without the little gaps.

Ive seen a new padding property which may be related, but have been unable to get it to work, I've tried (per the docs)

set the padding of fld "myfield" to 1

but get a message saying there is a missing 'in', whatever that means!

Has anyone else come across this, and how do I get the lines so they draw from the top of a field again!
