minipage is 45% of column width. Minipage is inside a table column that we have just altered to have a fixed width of 2 inches. The width of this column dictates the minipage width which dictates the breaking of the cell which dictates the height of the minipage's row which dictates the height of the table which dictates the height of the float which contains the table which dictates the height of the outermost row. Things like that... Simpler example: inlined ERT. Its contents (changed when you type a character) need to size to the contents. Now you're about to say : "well the parent should enquire its child for its size in the first phase" ? That is essentially what is happening now ! regards john
