Ran into the following annoying flaw in the Palm OS Table element (still in
OS 3.5).

If you dynamically resize a table by resetting the bounds of the table
itself, everything works perfectly with just one, annoying flaw: if you tap
on a field which has a number of lines larger than the number of lines
currently displayable in the table AND when the table has to be scrolled,
 the Palm OS, when it goes into 'edit
mode', simply draws all the lines of the field, drawing below the bottom
bound of the table. There are no other problems - even trying to limit the
number of lines in the table does not work, as it appears that the field
edit routines simply obey the maximum number of displayable lines
in a field (currently def'd at 11) and ignores the table boundary.

If you first scroll the table so the long entry is at the top of the table
and THEN tap on the field to go into edit mode, it's drawn and clipped
properly - it's only when the table scrolls to position the long entry on
the
first line of the table, that it goes beserk and overdraws the screen.

I did finally find a complex workaround for Datebk4 (this is part of
the reason I'm a bit behind releasing Datebk4 as this particular
problem was something I only noticed a few days ago).

Seems this should be fixed, no?
