Text control Height property does not return to Height property after switching Auto height from On to Off.

In the screen shot there is a height value of both 32 and 98 at the same time. Shouldn't it default to one or the other?

This isn’t a functional bug — it’s expected behaviour of how the control handles AutoHeight — but there is a small visual glitch in Studio.

When AutoHeight = true, the control calculates its height dynamically at runtime (for example 98). When you switch AutoHeight back to false, it should revert to the manual Height value (for example 32).

However, Studio sometimes still shows the previously calculated height in the designer, which makes it look like both values exist at the same time.

Usually this clears itself after a refresh or reopening the app designer. It does not affect runtime behaviour, only the design view.

There is a minor visual inconsistency if you toggle AutoHeight on and off multiple times, but it’s purely cosmetic. I’ve seen it before and just work around it by refreshing Studio when needed.
