Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a styled RichText tag as the first child of a FormItem.
2. Run application to see that no style is applied.
3. Duplicate the RichText tag as the second child of the FormItem.
4. Run the application to see that the style is applied to the second RichText item only. The first RichText item remains plain and uninteresting.

Attachment 1 is a screen shot of the style failing to work as the first child and working as the second child.
Attachment 2 is an application with source which produced the screen shot.

Actual Results:
Non-styled text.

Expected Results:
Styled text.

Workaround (if any):
Create a <mx:Spacer height="0"/> as the first child of the FormItem.
