Stretch overflow control increasing size of the band

[icccapital]

I have put several text fields in the page header band and shrunk them down to near 0 height.  I then put them to stretch on overflow.  The reason for this is to create an address, phone, fax...etc without having a lot of whitespace if an address is not provided or the phone number is not provided.  so the text fields have conditional line breaks( "\n").

All works well, but now when they expand they are increasing the size of the page header.  There are no controls below these controls, but there are controls to the right.  The ones on the right do not move, but the whitespace below the text field controls do. I know this because I put a box around the last text field control and it is well above the bottom of the page header band.

Is there anything that can be done about this?
