display 3 text fields flowing downwards

[martin_48]

Hi, I'm trying to display 3 text fields flowing downwards. Doesn't sound that hard, but studio is display massive gaps between the fields,whereas i want them to come one after the other with no gaps.

eg

11111
11111
222
33333

But what i'm getting is like this

11111
11111

 

222

33333

 

Each text field is stretch with overflow, and float.  I've played with stretch type, but it doesn't seem very useful

I also have a table element below these elements.

the band is free layout, split type null

 

Thanks

Martin

Turns out it doesn't like static text being inter-mingled

using text fields with fixed text works fine.

just another example of the rough edges
