Problem with negative x values

2003-06-17 11:04

OK, I have an example of trying to draw a line using a negative x value that the line won't float. In this example I have a similar line, but drawn using a negative y that DOES float.

 

I tried to find the code that was causing the problem, but I really didn't know where to start.

 

THe following is an XML report design that will cause the error. I have a textfield that stretches. To see the behavior, change the textField to have only one line.

 

Now, you might also wonder why I don't just use the other method I show. It has to do with the other elements that are on my report. So, I really need to be able to specify a negaive x coordinate.

 

Could someone please tell me where to go to make an attempt to fix this little glitch?

Correction:

 

Not negative x values, negative WIDTH values
