Ruleset ignoring XML parameters

[Archmage]

I'm trying to make a mini-sheet, and so far everything has worked well, except for this one bug which seems to be entirely arbitrary. I've created a basic frame, and set its bounds in relation to the minisheet. To that frame, I've anchored a modifier number.

For some unknown reason, FG is ignoring the <height></height> parameter for that number's frame. It accepts the width, but not the height. And it only does this when I anchor the number control to that generic frame. I have checked, rechecked, and triple checked my XML syntax. I'm pretty sure the problem is not there, but I have no idea where else it could be, because there are no scripts linked to these elements.

When I run the code, I get a console error that says "Ruleset Warning: Anchored control static height ignored" (in orange text if that matters).

Here's the code. The element being ignored is in bold. Any help would be appreciated.

...
              <sheetdata>
                       <labeledstring name="name">
				<bounds>15,25,120,20</bounds>
				<label>name</label>
				<static />
			</labeledstring>


			<genericcontrol name="combatframe">
				<bounds>10,50,275,121</bounds>
				<!--
				<frame>
					<name>modifier</name>
				</frame>
				-->

			</genericcontrol>
			
			<genericcontrol name="initiativeframe">
                                <bounds>125,15,100,30</bounds>
				<frame>
					<name>modifier</name>
					<offset>5,5,5,5</offset>
				</frame>

			</genericcontrol>

			<ministaticmod name="initiative" source="initiative.total">
				<description>
					<text>Initiative</text>
				</description>
				<anchored>
					<to>initiativeframe</to>
					<position>insideright</position>
					<offset>3,5</offset>
					<size>
						<width>30</width>
						<height>20</height>
					</size>
				</anchored>

			</ministaticmod>
			<stringcontrol>
				<anchored>
					<to>initiative</to>
					<position>left</position>
					<offset>5,-3</offset>
				</anchored>
				<static>Initiative</static>
				<font>sheetlabel</font>
			</stringcontrol>

...

<ministaticmod> is a template I made for this, which is basically just a linked number with <readonly/>, and a couple other preset paramaters.

Should the size controls be within the anchored tags?

Please ignore. I was having a blond moment.

The template doesn't include <anchored> and/or the inner <size> node does it?
It could be a problem with the merge rules. If it does include those nodes try using the replace mergerule in the template (i.e. <anchored mergerule="replace">)

I think I might have figured it out. It seems like all the center point anchors ignore one size parameter. Anchoring to a corner rather than "insideright" makes it consider the height parameter again. All the center point anchors seem to want an offset for at least one of their size parameters.

[Toadwart]

Ah yes. I invariably fall back to using the more simple form:

 
<anchored>
  <left>
    <parent>label</parent>
    <anchor>right</anchor>
  </left>
  <top>
    <anchor>top</anchor>
    <offset>5</offset>
  </top>
  <size>
    <width>30</width>
    <height>22</height>
  </size>
</anchored>

You can achieve the same placement/sizing with either method but it's more obvious to me when it's done this way.
