Wondering if anyone has a fix for this one.

I'm working on an iOS app for iPad. I've got a block of text (a story) in a 
text field. I'm changing the color of sentences in time with audio that is 
playing. As the color changes, the text is shifting, almost as if the size of 
the text is changing slightly. All I'm doing is setting the textColor of a 
chunk of text. Something like:

        set the textColor of word 1 to 8 of fld "text" to blue

I am not applying a font size or style or anything like that. The problem does 
not occur in the LiveCode IDE as far as I can tell. Only in the iOS simulator 
and on the device.

Has anyone done anything similar? Can the problem be fixed? I don't know if 
it's just a matter of finding the right dimensions for my field and/or a 
combination of text size and text height? Right now the field is 600 pixels in 
width. The font is Arial, size 20, and the text height is set to 28.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
Chris
