Log Message:
When measuring go large and revert back to Math.ceil rather than Math.round when measuring to try to avoid a scrollRect.  We saw this come into play with Corey's TextInput performance test.  Since TextInput components are only 1 line high, if we're low even by a fraction of a pixel in our guesstimate of the line height a scrollRect comes into play.

Hi John,
Sorry to tell but tab completion is still failing on my Windows XP/Indesign CS5 (caught by Indesign).
I just saw your remark on coloring text, here is an example pulled out from Peter's book "ScriptUI for dummies":
var w = new Window ("dialog");
var s = w.add ("statictext", undefined, "Static");
var e = w.add ("edittext", undefined, "Edit");
var b = w.add ("button", undefined, "Button");
// The window's backround
w.graphics.backgroundColor = w.graphics.newBrush (w.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.5, 0.0, 0.0]);
// Font and its colour for the first item, statictext
s.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Helvetica", "Bold", 30);
s.graphics.foregroundColor = s.graphics.newPen (w.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.7, 0.7, 0.7], 1);
// Font and colours for the second item, edittext
e.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Letter Gothic Std", "Bold", 30);
e.graphics.foregroundColor = e.graphics.newPen (e.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0], 1);
e.graphics.backgroundColor = e.graphics.newBrush (e.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]);
// Font for the tird control, a button. Can't set colours in buttons
b.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont ("Minion Pro", "Italic", 30);
w.show ();
