Geometry information missing

I am wondering why the geometry information is not completely registered in the capi interface object after display.

I am running 5.1.2 on Mac OS X (32 bit).

You can see from the example code below that the X and Y positions are not recorded in the geometry instance slot.

Thanks

You need to render (capi:display or capi:contain) the interface first. CAPI delays calculating this information until the interface is actually rendered. The first few times I encountered this, I found it confusing. I suspect that this is related to the fact that layouts (can) auto-stretch their contents.
