I have a two-line Data Display that shows a previous observation. The text displays poorly if the previous observation was really long. (This also happens with multi-line Text, not just the Data Display.)
For example, my previous observation is long enough that it would take up 4 lines given the data display's width. When it renders on the form, it is vertically centered as if the textblock was 4 lines tall! Only the first two lines are visible, as if the form displays the entire text and then blocks the extra lines. But the vertical centering causes a major alignment problem.
Has anyone else found a way to handle this? I suspect it's a templating problem in the way Centricity is rendering forms in WPF.
I'm using CPS 10.
The answer to this is to leave the border and scrollbar visible on the Data Display. This will constrain the rendered text to your desired dimensions.
Interestingly CPS 10 renders data displays differently if the border is visible. This is probably worthy of a bug report.
