I don't have experience with your exact issue, however a few thoughts come
to mind.
Are you deploying this based on an open window, or are you doing a
SessionManager subclass code based deployment? If you are doing non code
based deployment the view is not running onViewOpened and is instead being
recreated from a object that may not be saving that attribute. However I do
not understand why it would be using a margin after you change the selection
if that is the case.
I have a vague memory of an issue slightly similar to this with tab stop
settings inside a multiline text box. They were behaving oddly (in general,
not just in a deployed app), so I just used a RichTextEdit view instead with
preformatted RTF text. If you can't get the margins to work consistently
you might look into an RichTextEdit.
This would be a real kludge, but if you can make it work consistently and it
does not look too odd you could force a selection change in the listbox (or
do what ever that does) to get the margins set in your onViewOpened method.
Good luck, hope this helps,
