I cant imagine what my problem is -- I'm trying to solve all sorts of higher-level challenges, and suddenly I find I can't even create a button the size I want. Here's what happens:

I click the button-drawing tool and draw a button. can make it as tall as I want or as wide as I want . . . but I can't make it *shorter* than 26 pixels tall. If I draw it, say 18 pixels tall, when I let go it snaps out to 26 pixels. If I try to change the height value in the Object Info box, it reverts to 26 when I tab out of it.

It *does* allow me to make the button taller than 26 pixels. The default anchors of top/left are checked.

THis is holding true on any layout. Existing buttons on this layout are smaller than 26 pixels, and can be re-sized or copied however I like.

What in the world can be the problem here???

Try making the font size smaller.

Ahhhh . . . simple answer, I love those. Funny how something like this can come up for the first time in years of using Filemaker and totally baffle me.

Thanks!
