            Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, that code didn't help :( They still end up on top of
each other.

I am dispatching the newChildAdded event in the method that sets the
textField to autoSize and wordWrap to true so that I can call
invalidateDisplayList() in the parent VBox. Without that call the VBox
seems to stack them just like they're single line CheckBoxes.

Thanks,
Ben
