Strange frame behaviour

[tomasd]

Hi,

I need to have a border around text fields in the report. Each text field should be completely remoed when it contains null value. Fields should be also expanded when text does not fit (stretch with overflow).

 

Problem occurs when one field is stretched and one field is removed. Then the size of the enclosed frame is correct, but consecutive elements (outside of frame) are positioned like frame size is different. It looks like floating position of the next element is computed with frame still containing the removed element.

Everything works fine when the field is not removed...

 

I've attached a report with described situation. It can be previewsd in iReport using Empty Data source. In preview "text" value should normally be positioned right after the frames's border, but it's about 1 cm lower.

Attached are also previews of current report (report-bad.png) and desired report(report-good.png).

Please help, I'm stuck with this problem for over a week :(.

thanks
