Sorry about the indenting. I keep forgetting to put periods in. It's like this
TiledCanvas ..PodChrome ....ReportModuleA (not a real module, just a VBox) ......ReportChrome ........ReportA ..........Grid I also apologize for giving incorrect information earlier. The measure() methods *are* all getting called and the values look right. i.e. if I set ReportA to minimum 500x500 that shows up all the way up the hierarchy. Yet, if I set ReportChrome to 100%/100% the scroll bars don't appear, but if I don't do that, they do. Very puzzling. My theory about parentApplication is probably wrong, because I set a break in UIComponent.get parentApplication and it only got called when showing a progress window. So now I am setting break points in Container.createScrollbarsIfNeeded, but in the case where the percentages are set, it doesn't get to the needVertical=true part. I'll keep digging, but any suggestions for further key logic points to check would be appreciated. I assume getScrollableRect() is returning a different value, but I can't imagine why that would be.
