Ah, so the parent is always the limiting boundary. That's the kind of information I was hoping for :). Thanks again! Maybe another little question: How is the "fixed" size determined? I had difficulties with the rendering of "out" elements with several lines of text and "textarea" elements with rows>1... When I use one of these elements in a gridLayout with rows="fixed;*" followed by something like a sheet (which stretches perfectly), then I always end up with the first component only having a height of one line.
