empty label height bug

[Taifun]

set screen to scrollable = false

and define 2 labels

label1: height= automatic

label2: height= fill parent

everything fine up to now

then delete the text in label1 and the height will change to fill parent in the designer window

example project attached

after building the app there is an empty line now instead of "nothing"

I have tested different scenarios:

height of 1 pixel, 0 pixels, fill parent, automatic and they all seem to work properly for me.

If normal behavior is for an empty label set to automatic to take up x pixels in height then nothing is wrong here.

You can set Label1's Visible to false or Height to 0 to get the desired effect you are suggesting, I think.

the height of an empty label (height = automatic) in AI1 was 0, in AI2 not anymore

of course we can say it's not a bug, it's a feature... ;-)

however the normal user will be confused to see in the designer an empty label (height = automatic) acting as fill parent (see first screenshot)...
