I'm working on a GUI having some BasicEditFields.

The screen has several Manager's, buttons and so forth.

After changing the text of the field, getContentHeight() returns a larger value.

I have specified padding and font, but the content height changes with the text field.

Is there any way to have a fix size for my BasicEditField that will not vary according to the text content?

BasicEditField's height will change if text is longer than one line. If you want a fixed display height add it inside a fixed height manager.

In this case, the text changes are all within 1 line of text.

Also, it is not possible to override getContentHeight() (it's marked as final).

Overriding getPreferredHeight() gives me the same problem: my preferences are ignored and the BasicEditField getContentHeight() returns a variable value. (Sometimes 37, sometimes 38)

What about getHeight method? does that also give different value?

You can fix the height of the field by overriding layout method.
