If I drag the text entry box out visually (to a height of 120) it snaps back to the height of a single line of text. The h property is set in properties, to 120, but the border only displays at about 25. Also the hit area is set to the same height so I can’t just use a graphic box, because only the top line will receive focus, whereas the user is likely to click in the middle.</SPAN></P>
