Hi, This is not right... throwing an error. Can you post the error?
The hack your co-worker gave you is definitely unnecessary. Can you post some code that will reproduce what you are trying to achieve? Setting the container's height = NaN will force the container to ditch the last height metric. When this happens the container invalidates it's size, thus calling measure(), remeasuring child preferred widths and heights. On the next validateDisplayList() call the layout manager will then set your container to it's measuredHeight since there is no explicit height set. I need to know the error you are getting.
