Dear MIT App Inventor Support Team,
My name is Sheikh Shabbir Ahmed, and I wish to report a persistent bug concerning spacing between components within the \text{App Inventor} environment. I have a \text{Vertical Arrangement} containing five \text{TextBoxes} and have inserted four \text{Label} components between them to act as spacers (with \text{Text} property empty and \text{Height} set to \text{10} pixels). The issue is that upon generating and testing the \text{APK} file on a physical device, the intended spacing only appears between the first two \text{TextBoxes}, while the remaining three \text{Labels} fail to create any gap, causing the subsequent \text{TextBoxes} to stick together, severely affecting the layout design and indicating that only one out of the four \text{Labels} functions correctly as a \text{Spacer}. I kindly request your team to investigate this issue as the inconsistent spacing significantly impairs the final application's quality.
Not seeing this issue here. Try this example...
