Hi Marco,
I agree with you what it related to the VCL part (ancestors).

About height = 35 for TDBEdit and TEdit - try same with AutoSize=False...
We can control it!
I need stylish, compact form. User must see more information at once.
Grids with 'Tahoma' font and DefaultRowHeight=15 looks great,
but large Edits don't harmonize with that style.
Font(Tahoma,8), Ctrl3D(False),Heigth(15) is much better.
It only my opinion and maybe someone else.
I look at the code in depth but is not fully successfully while.
I find that problem hiding in property assignment sequence in ancestors
tree.
Height changed by TCustomEdit.AdjustHeight in StdCtrls.pas.
AdjustHeight don't called when AutoSize=False, but AutoSize assigned
later when Height and between it something entail AdjustHeight calling, Font
assignment for example.
Simple obvious solve I find, it is assignment AutoSize to False by default
in
TIB_Edit sources, it prevent automatic Height calculation.
For me it more than enough, but backward compatibility lost for others...

Regards
Ramil
