Ruleset ignoring XML parameters

[Archmage]

I'm trying to make a mini-sheet, and so far everything has worked well, except for this one bug which seems to be entirely arbitrary. I've created a basic frame, and set its bounds in relation to the minisheet. To that frame, I've anchored a modifier number.

For some unknown reason, FG is ignoring the <height></height> parameter for that number's frame. It accepts the width, but not the height. And it only does this when I anchor the number control to that generic frame. I have checked, rechecked, and triple checked my XML syntax. I'm pretty sure the problem is not there, but I have no idea where else it could be, because there are no scripts linked to these elements.

When I run the code, I get a console error that says "Ruleset Warning: Anchored control static height ignored" (in orange text if that matters).

Here's the code. The element being ignored is in bold. Any help would be appreciated.


...
<sheetdata>
<labeledstring name="name">
<bounds>15,25,120,20</bounds>
<label>name</label>
<static />
</labeledstring>


<genericcontrol name="combatframe">
<bounds>10,50,275,121</bounds>
<!--
<frame>
<name>modifier</name>
</frame>
-->

</genericcontrol>

<genericcontrol name="initiativeframe">
<bounds>125,15,100,30</bounds>
<frame>
<name>modifier</name>
<offset>5,5,5,5</offset>
</frame>

</genericcontrol>

<ministaticmod name="initiative" source="initiative.total">
<description>
<text>Initiative</text>
</description>
<anchored>
<to>initiativeframe</to>
<position>insideright</position>
<offset>3,5</offset>
<size>
<width>30</width>
<height>20</height>
</size>
</anchored>

</ministaticmod>
<stringcontrol>
<anchored>
<to>initiative</to>
<position>left</position>
<offset>5,-3</offset>
</anchored>
<static>Initiative</static>
<font>sheetlabel</font>
</stringcontrol>

...

<ministaticmod> is a template I made for this, which is basically just a linked number with <readonly/>, and a couple other preset paramaters.

Should the size controls be within the anchored tags?

** edit **
Please ignore. I was having a blond moment.

The template doesn't include <anchored> and/or the inner <size> node does it?
It could be a problem with the merge rules. If it does include those nodes try using the replace mergerule in the template (i.e. <anchored mergerule="replace">)

I think I might have figured it out. It seems like all the center point anchors ignore one size parameter. Anchoring to a corner rather than "insideright" makes it consider the height parameter again. All the center point anchors seem to want an offset for at least one of their size parameters.

[Toadwart]

Ah yes. I invariably fall back to using the more simple form:


<anchored>
<left>
<parent>label</parent>
<anchor>right</anchor>
</left>
<top>
<anchor>top</anchor>
<offset>5</offset>
</top>
<size>
<width>30</width>
<height>22</height>
</size>
</anchored>

You can achieve the same placement/sizing with either method but it's more obvious to me when it's done this way.
