>I have a rectangle that bounds a portion of my detail band. It is nice and pretty, but when the fields inside it grow down (all are "floating") as the strings get long - teh rectangle does not resize correctly. Rather, it often grows too much. Then I have icky blank space at the bottom of it. There are fields above and below it. any way to make it grow ONLY as big as the things inside it? Otherwise I move back to horizontal lines, instead. They work correctly.

Have you tried the following: In the rectangle properties stretching downwards relative to the height of the band?
