In the situation I described nothing happens after c1 changes height. But strangely if some other child changes, for instance c3 changing its height, than the children c3 and c2 will re-position correctly, taking into account the height of c1. So the change is being delayed, even if I call requestLayout().. It's being delayed for an undefined amount of time so it should have nothing to due with the pulse.
