Screen Layout Changed in 3.1

Strange - running my data fields in SDK 3.1 Beta 3, in this case on an Edge 1030, the display is longer and now extends below the bottom of the device display area. I see this in several of my data fields. I haven't investigated if this occurs on the real device yet, or diagnosed the calculations to see why things changed in 3.1... But wanted to make others aware of this. Worked perfectly under 3.0.x.

How are you getting the height? Sys.getDeviceSettings().screenHeight or dc.getHeight()? On a device like this, they'll be different, in that the "Sys" version is the actual screen, and the "dc" version is the dc. They're different because of the button bar at the bottom. i'm guessing you're using the "dc" version and there's a bug.

I'd file a bug report with your code for getting the height or maybe a simple example (based on height, draw a line from upper left to lower right, and another from upper right to lower left.. or something)

THANKS. Yep using dc. I REALLY appreciate your prompt insight on these questions!

No need to file this bug. I ran into this issue on Wednesday and filed it then. :)

The issue is that the button bar is being displayed all of the time, and it should not be displayed while showing data fields (and a few other cases).

Oh yes! I forgot about that it shouldn't be there for DFs! I mainly do device apps and widgets on the edge devices...
