1040 Layout issues

got a report that my datafield on the 1040 is looking very different than what the simulator is showing me. looking at the dimensions, the screen size and field sizes are identical to what the 1030 is (at least for the field size in question for this particular customer), so the layout should be exact same.

anyone else hearing anything? if the simulator is off, i might have to go out and grab a 1040 for myself and test on it.

Have the user take a picture and send it to you and post it along with what you see in the sim. Is it just the fonts, for example?

x & y position and sizing of many of the elements. all of that gets set in my code based on height and width of the field. debugger shows the code going to the expected switch statement branch, so thinking the device itself must be reporting h/w slightly different. ie, 185 height vs 186 is what i'm expecting and simulator reporting. that would be enough for my code to miss it and make it look like is being reported

fyi, if anybody else runs into this

the field dims on the 1040 are slightly different than 1030 or 1030 plus. in the simulator they are exactly the same, but if you are coding to exact match on field dimensions, the 1040 won't match what you expect.
