FM12: Sliding Repeating Fields

Sliding of repeating fields seems to have changed in version 12?

Background

v11:

Layout has several clones of a repeating field, each showing a different repetition of the data.

i.e.. myRepeatField[1..1], myRepeatField[2..2], myRepeatField[3..3], ... , myRepeatField[16..16]

All are set to slide up and reduce enclosure.

Result is white space is removed as expected.

v12.0.1:

Recreated layout in new project. Not converted from 11.

Layout has several clones of a repeating field, each showing a different repetition of the data.

i.e.. myRepeatField[1..1], myRepeatField[2..2], myRepeatField[3..3], ... , myRepeatField[16..16]

All are set to slide up and reduce enclosure.

Result is white space is not removed on myRepeatField[2..2], myRepeatField[3..3], ... , myRepeatField[16..16]

Only myRepeatField[1..1]

myRepeatField[1..16] works ok. Just not the other field setups? Used to?

--

WTF? can anyone else duplicate this?

Of course I have a project fully developed on this technique in 11 that has now changed in 12.

So in FM12 (12.0 v1 Mac), define a field that repeats 10 times.

Add that field to a layout and designate the object to display only [1..1] of the repeats.

Add another iteration of the field to the layout and designate the object to only display [2..2] of the repeats.

Make these slide-up.

The second iteration fails. Sometimes even to render at all.

Making the object display [2..3] of the repeats seems ok. It's only with the singletons.

( I use this technique for a complex form that requires info between the repetitions. Worked great for everything before v12 )
