Erratic presence behavour.

[past-tense]

Hello all,

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a multiline textbox appear if a certain radio button is selected. So, on ready:layout of the textbox, I set the presence to either "hidden" or "visible" based upon the radio button value.

The issue isn't about whether or not I can get it to appear... it's that the display behavour is very erratic. For example, if I manually set the presence to hidden in Designer first, when ran, the textbox is displayed on top of the radio buttons when I dynamically set the presence to visible. Additionally, When I mannualy set the presence to visible in Designer, when ran, the textbox acts as though it's presence is set to invisible when I dynamically set the presence to hidden (the whitespace is maintained).

I have ensured that all parent objects are set to flowed. I have no clue What I'm doing wrong. Is this just a bug?

I've included a url below to a sample .pdf file with the issue. Please let me know if you can see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help,

Instead of setting the presence to invisible set it to hidden.. That can remove the white space occupied by the text box..

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,

I have been setting it to hidden, but for some reason, 'Hidden' behaves like 'Invisibile', in that it keeps the whitespace.

I have the solution, though... I found that if I enter more text than the textbax can initially display, it repositions itself properly when it expands to fit the content. This led me to believe that it was just a rendering bug. The fix was to include an 'xfa.layout.relayout();' after I hide/display the textbox.

Thanks for your time, though.
