Using the the Introjucer in JUCE 3.0.7, I am experiencing the following bug with a widget in a parent component:

&nbsp;

Y:

absolute distance from bottom of parent

anchored at bottom of component

&nbsp;

height:

subtracted from height of parent

&nbsp;

This results in the following Jucer markup:

pos="64 50Rr 66 278M"

&nbsp;

and the following generated C++ code:  
widget-\>setBounds (64, getHeight() - 50 - getHeight() - 278, 66, getHeight() - 278);  
  
Which results in my widget drawing outside the clip bounds of the parent component. &nbsp;The problem is one of order-of-operations in the Y position and could be solved with parenthesis:

widget-\>setBounds (64, getHeight() - 50 - (getHeight() - 278), 66, getHeight() - 278);

&nbsp;

I haven't tested, but I would guess that this same issue may have other similar bug recipes.

Ok, I've tweaked that code now - try it again!
