Still, I don't know why you've got such a difference in your case.

I am using the following thing: 
override public function set text(val:String)
{
  super.text = val;
  for (var i:uint = 0; i < super.text.length; i++)
  {
   if (super.text.charAt(i) == '\r' || super.text.charAt(i) == '\n')
   {
      m_iParagraphNo++;
    } 
  }
}

and then use iParagraphNo in set height() - adding the corresponding
number of extra lines.

Cheers,
Dmitri.
