BUG - Different outputs from the same repeater in Axure 8 & 9 Beta

Hi! Hmm, it looks like you’re trying to get a text widget in a repeater to autofit to its text and adjust the other widgets within the repeater. Axure RP doesn’t dynamically autofit text to widgets in the browser, and while you can work around this with Set Size actions and moving widgets to the resized widget’s new bottom, there’s also the issue that repeaters will not retain their adjusted heights if anything OnItemLoad causes that repeater to be redrawn. This would be why, for example, on the canvas in Axure RP 8 the repeater rows appear to fit the longer text, but then don’t in the browser (it’s easier to see if you give the text widget a fill color). It looks like a similar issue may be occurring in 9. I’ll go ahead and file a ticket on our end to take a look at this to determine if there’s a new bug for repeaters in the beta. You can keep an eye on the 9 beta release notes to see if any of the released fixes apply to this issue. Thanks!
