textfield textAdjust="stretchHeight" is not stretching for dynamic text

[jamesatollefson]

I have tried every cobination of positionType and stretchType and evaluation time. Nothing has worked. I even made sure the print order is vertical. I used jasper version 6.11 and even upgraded to 6.17. No success. Whenever the dynamic text from the variable is longer than the text field and takes up a second line, it only shows the first line.

Here is my simple text field:

<textField textAdjust="StretchHeight" evaluationTime="Auto">
     <reportElement positionType="Float" stretchType="ContainerHeight" x="0" y="80" width="190" height="16" uuid="939ca8a9-5c57-445a-8992-54babc9c7302"/>
     <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{signedInfo}.getSignedComments()]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>

I also attached my full jasper report

Try to change the Reset type for  $V{signedInfo}  , I am not sure if it is appropriate for your report

Please see the example below where variable Reset Type is set to None insted of Report
