Portal Creep

[Lorick]

I am having trouble with "portal creep". When I display a large number of entries in a portal window and scroll down by clicking in the elevator bar, after about 10 windows worth, I notice that the top entry is only half displayed. The more I scroll down, the more the rows have "crept" up in the window. I've tried resizing the portal row size and the portal area, and FileMaker insists it knows what it's doing. Example, if I have eleven rows in the portal area and each row is 20 pixels, Filemaker won't let me set the area size to 220 - it insists on 221. This may be what explains the creep - but it actually seems like I'm creeping by a fraction of a pixel with each click.

This is driving me crazy, because my application isn't deliverable unless I fix this stupid behavior. Any suggestions?

Make sure you are using 7.0v3. The v3 update if free from the FMI web site.

Many of the fixed bugs related to portals.

I have 7.0v3 now, and it's possible the creep is improved - but it's still there. I guess I can live with it. Most users probably won't notice.
