Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a Form
2. Add a FormItem
3. Add a Text component into that FormItem and give the Text component a percent width.
4. Add enough text to the Text component so it would require it to wrap to multiple lines.

Actual Results:
FormItems after the Text component get pushed down as if room is being preserved for the wrapping text inside the Text component. However, only the first line of the text is shown leaving a large area of empty space below. Highlighting and dragging to select the text causes the text inside the Text component to scroll indicating that the text is in fact there. Giving the Text an actual pixel width seems to work. See attached Bug.mxml

Expected Results:
The text should be displayed correctly wrapping to additional lines.

Workaround (if any):
1. Give the text an actual pixel width or
2. Wrapping the Text component with a Canvas seems to work. See attached Workaround.mxml
