There is some padding before the first line in a TextArea. Have a look at this image to see what I mean:
http://i34.tinypic.com/4uz8s0.jpg I need to remove this, and the first solution that comes to mind is to find that value and position the TextArea.y = TextArea.y - [that value]. The padding before the first line seems to be equal (in most cases) to the font's descent, which I can get from getTextLineMetrics().descent. However, this is not true in all cases. In some cases, the padding is more. Anyone have suggestions?
