That did it. Thanks.
One of the fields is non-editable text, and has to line up with certain
points in the field next to it. When the editable field changes height (add
or remove lines), I dispose the other field, parse the editable field, and
recreate the non-editable field.
I needed some way to know about height changes, other than watching each
keystroke & parsing the editable field to see if it changed... That
approach seemed too wasteful in cycles...
