What properties you mean?

Brr, all this works fine on MAC at least.

Ok, we will check windows builds asap.

No no

This property means that control can grow vertically if needed to show e.g.
Few lines of text.

There is no it seems horizontal auto-size ...

Lets discuss because I am not very agree or I do not see something.

When you design a report, you need fit some field(s) into the size of

What sense for me to think in chars?
