If it were not like that, it would be unintuitive; too many factors affecting box layout. Alignment should only affect a box's position within free space around the box. This way you only need to take boxes sizes into account when sizing columns, which is not just simple for the core but simple for the Ibex application developer to visualise (which is very important). -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[email protected]> Online @ http://www.charlietech.com
