Align baWidth works different

edited September 2004 in FastReport 3.0
Hi, with <=2.53, I used to have a Memo or a Shape rectangle with border and the aligh set to baWidth (using a big Height), and put inside it one or more small Memo with the acutal text/fields so I could have a larger frame where put some fields/labels.
Now the "frame" control (the underlying one), if I put another Memo upon it, resizes itself from the left border of the page to the leftmost position of the control.
This is a very interesting behaviour, but unfortunatly ruins my "old way" reports.
I would like to know, since I've tried without success:
a) is there one more property to set to have the "old" behaviour?
B) is there another method to get the same result?
Thanks a lot, and looking forward the next build with IB_ support, so I will start using what seems to be really a fabolous reporting tools (and also huntig for some inevitable bugs ;))
Best regards

    Old behaviour is not supported anymore. You shouldn't use baWidth if you have intersecting objects.

    Any workaround? I would like to have something like this:

    |
    |
    | |
    | N. Items 25 Total 254 Status DONE |
    | |
    |
    |

    The "border" should dinamically stretch to the page widht, while the controls inside can be in a fixed position regarding the left margin.
    Thanks
    btw, posting this message, the blank spages are unfortunatly "eaten", ho pe you can get the concept anyway
