What is the width (not textWidth) of the TextArea? If it is narrow, it will affect textHeight. If you look at measurement code in Text.as or in ListItemRenderer.as, you'll see that we fix the width before getting textHeight.

I set condenseWhite to false, and it added 20 to the height, so I know the condenseWhite is working some what. I am calling validateNow, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
