Lately I have been using the Yahoo! Flex skin in a few of my interfaces as it greatly improves the overall standard look of the Flex widgets. It’s very easy to implement (thanks to Adobe for creating a simple workflow for this). Recently, however, I have noticed a couple of bugs in the skin that are worth bringing up and should definitely be fixed. Suffice it to say that I am not sure if they are Adobe’s fault or Yahoo!’s fault.

As you can see there is an issue on the bottom where a partial row of the datagrid is showing and the other part of it is hidden. It’s the hidden part that is causing the skin to appear invisible. Note that, as soon as I scroll the datagrid it goes away. However, if I move my mouse over that row it comes back. Same goes for the [+] button. You can see that it’s bounds are causing an anomaly on the control bar.

Like I said, I am not sure if this is an Adobe issue or a Yahoo! issue, but it is annoying enough that I might be swapping the skin out. I don’t want to, but I may have to.
