I am baffled

I have just started a new FF361 project and have ran into behavior that I don't understand.

When setting the height of a Label control using the FireFly Workspace and typing in a number in the height field  FF changes the height number after I type it in.  For example the initial height for the Label is 26 and I change it to 18 and FF changes it to 22.   

Why is this happening?

Also,  when I copy a Label or TextBox  and paste it to my form the  height and width sizes get change from what the original height and width were set at.   Is this what is supposed to happen?

Hi Marty,

trying to duplicate this. Could you say whet you are doing in simple steps?
I have tried this but it seems OK to me.

Hi Mark,

    1) my Windows screen font size (DPI) is set at 125%  (don't know if this effects my results)

    2) Create new project
    3) Add a Label to Form1
    4) Change Label height using the FireFly Workspace by typing in a number 
        original size was 26  I typed 18  FF changed it to 22

    If I size the Label on the form by dragging the edges it seems to work correctly.  But when changing the Labels size using FireFly workspace I see this problem.

   Would be nice to know is anyone else can duplicate this behavior.

Maybe a picture would help.
note:  The picture shows the FF project and the
running compiled program.
Note how the sizes one the form and the Firefly Workspace
don't correspond to the compiled program.  Particulary
look at the height and width listed in the FF-Workspace.

Is any one else seeing this type of weird stuff with FF361 ?

I am, except the text gets smaller, not bigger.

I am seeing this too but not as dramatic as you are. Typing 18 into the Workspace will change to 17 when the Label is clicked on. It shouldn't change at all of course. I will investigate.

Paul,
    Try this:
      go to Control Panel run the Display Applet
The applet allow you to change Display from 100% (default) to 125% or 150%

The problem in FF that I am seeing is when Display is set at 125% or 150%  then
these weird things begin to happen.
