'vertical alignment' of text setting?

[sneila]

Hi all

I have a field (A) with 'vertical elasticity' set to 'expand' because it can contain many lines. The neighbouring field (B) has the same setting. When field B has more lines than field A the contents of field A are aligned vertically to the bottom causing white-space at the top. is there a way to ensure that text in a field is always aligned to the top?

Thanks
Richard

It is very intriguing. I never saw the phenomena you are describing, and actually was unable to reproduce it whatever I tried. If I needed the feature you are describing, the only way to get it that I may think of is to pad the first field with leading spaces. I would encourage you to try to recreate the effect using some simple report and standard tables, like ALL_OBJECTS, so that you could email it.

Hi

Thanks for your suggestions. It probably won't be until next week before I get a chance to look at this again, in which case I'll look at putting together a sample.

Cheers

You were right, nagornyi, The problem was un-reproducable. I found it was caused by a CHR(13) being placed at the start of the string in some situations. Removing this fixed the problem. I should have noticed this earlier.

Thanks for taking the time though...
