EditText layout_height oddity
<p>I've observed a strange thing about EditText widgets. If you adjust the layout_height downwards, say, to 36dp, the background of the widget exhibits bars above and below the text.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="36dp"
    android:textSize="15sp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="80dp"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:hint="hh:mmAM" &gt;
&lt;/EditText&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Here's what it looks like:

<p>The gray bars above and below the time should be one solid gray area. In fact, they do become one solid gray area when layout_height reaches 48dp. As you adjust the height toward 48dp, the gap between the gray bars becomes narrower and narrower. Is there an explanation for this behavior, or is this an Android bug? Is there a workaround?</p>

<p>I should add that I'm working with a 480x800 screen (Nexus S).</p>
