textfield text shifting if text overruns the area

[tedpet]

I am creating my JasperReport from my Java app. i have a textField with "$F{meetingPurpose}" to define where the text comes from. I notice that if the amount of text will not fit in the textField, the resultant text will be baseline shifted down about 1/2 the Cap height.

Has anyone else seen this?

textField isStretchWithOverflow="true">

reportElement uuid="2e3604dd-1f53-44d6-ab66-b3e41732955b" x="247" y="229" width="232" height="20"/>

textElement>

font fontName="CBSwiss721BT-Light"/>

/textElement>

textFieldExpression>![CDATA[$F{meetingPurpose}]]>/textFieldExpression>

/textField>

 

if ![CDATA[$F{meetingPurpose}]] has enough text to extend past the width="232" limit, the whole  textField is baseline shifted down about 1/2 Xheight.

 

iReport 4.7.1

here is the XML:

 

$F{meetingPurpose}

 

if the text for $F{meetingPurpose} extends past the width, all the text is baseline shifted about 1/2 the X height.

wow upgrading to 5.0 fixes the issue.
