I have an inline shape containing some text and another inline shape - a
picture as it happens. The innermost picture shape is rightaligned.

The text runs around the picture shape properly but has a vertical extent
that leaves it above the bottom edge of the picture. (hope this diagram works)

When I resize the outer shape in code the overflow property remains false
until the bottom edge reaches the text - this means it cuts off the lower
part of inner shape containing the picture.

Any ideas? I have tried working out the lower edge requirements by getting
the metrics of the inner picture - that has its own problem - see my previous
posting.

I would say that this issue is by design - if the bottom of the image is cut
off by the bottom of the text box, nothing has really "overflowed", as no
objects have gone entirely into the overflow area and no text has.
