Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the bugfile DropDownList_simple.swf

Actual Results: This application uses an embedded font. Notice that during the measure function and updateDisplayList, the baselinePositions are:
measure() CheckBox baselinePosition=14.05
measure() TextInput baselinePosition=14.3203125
measure() HSlider baselinePosition=2
measure() DDList baselinePosition=2
updateDisplayList() DataGroup baselinePosition=2
updateDisplayList() Border baselinePosition=2

Expected Results: The HSLider, DropDownList, Border and DataGroup aren't correct baselinePosition values. If you don't use an embedded font, you will get more valid values like:
measure() CheckBox baselinePosition=14.05
measure() TextInput baselinePosition=14.736328125
measure() HSlider baselinePosition=11
measure() DDList baselinePosition=14
updateDisplayList() DataGroup baselinePosition=12
updateDisplayList() Border baselinePosition=14

Workaround (if any):
