Well, TextArea does not automatically resize to its content height. I think you will need to extend that component to do that. I did something like this for the Text component and will post the code below. Warning, I have not used this in a year, and post it as an example only. Also, since the resize happened in creationComplete, it will NOT work in an item renderer or in a Repeater with recycleChildren="true".

I'm using a Repeater to loop through chunks of text and toss them in a VBox. Trouble is all the text boxes are the same = there doesn't seem to be a way to set a box to it's own internal text size? I'd like the boxes to be all different heights, just enough to view the text. Help?
