I'm not sure this is true - since it works for TDBEdit and TEdit.

I use Ctrl3d=False and height=17 with MS Sans Serif 8. For me, 3D is too
much visual clutter. So if I need Edits I actually use TEdit and load/save
them manually just to get a control matching in appearance. Which is a
little absurd when the IBO controls are among the best around.

I also regard it as a bug since the control can be sized in the designer but
reverts to full height on run.

I've just tried that - and it works - so I'm happy for now. But it would
be nice to find somewhere to put an 'if AutoSize then . . ' and have an
official fix.
